US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
