Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
The reknowned artist Kjell Bjørgeengen works collaboratively with innovative musicians to make complex installations. Channels of flickering light are produced in response to and from sound.
A carefully thought out, simple but rich performance using just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
Over 3 days Episode 8 celebrates all the unruly ways we escape attempts to constrain us, tear down the walls of normative culture and build joy in flight.
