An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
