Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades

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.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
