Hartmut led “a workshop in the old-fashioned way of discussion, mutual exploration of ideas and samples; trying out what can be shared and where the fault lines show.”

A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.

Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
