One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
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?
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
