A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
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.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
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.
