Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.

Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
