A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.

A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.

Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
