Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.

This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
What’s the best way to spend time with a musician when they visit a city to perform? And when the musician in question has a great deal to say, what sort of concert do you organise to do justice to that?

How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.

60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves

Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
