Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.

Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”
