The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Series of short sets by Acid Mothers Temple / Ruins offshoots Zubi Zuva X, Akaten & Zoffy.
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Three panels offering opportunities to discuss how to build stronger alliances between the sex workers’ rights, migrants rights and reproductive justice movements and how to face, together, an increasingly punitive and reactionary system.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
