Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.

Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
