Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
Join Brian as he ruminates on the history of how experimental filmmakers and sound artists have drifted into and taken over galleries in order to show their work.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
What is the radical concept at the core of ‘rhythm’, expanded from simply musical or mathematical notions to encompass personal, social, collective rhythms?
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
