A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
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.”
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
In Ramayya’s visionary poetry, the body assumes as many forms as love produces states: attraction and repulsion, excitement and exhaustion, selfishness and the dissolution of self.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
