The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Thirty lucky Instal punters experience Kylie’s pre-match aggro workout one-on-one in the darkness of an Arches dressing room.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Relative patterns of occlusion and exposure occupy two screens. Each exposure fires a stroboscopic flash of colour: yellow for one screen; blue for the other, filling the centre of both screens with colour, haloed with after-images.
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the voguing ball scene going on in Harlem had travelled downtown to perform alongside the early postmoderns at Judson Church?
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
