Some of the most breathtaking, delicate and smoke filled guitar playing this side of Loren Connors or the quieter sides of Keiji Haino.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
