A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.

Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
