Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
An open conversation around the history and practices of the Ueinzz Theatre Company – a radical Brazilian schizoscenic theatre company of carers, so-called psychotic patients and philosophers.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.

Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
