Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
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.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
An informal conversation, over breakfast, about how abolition and movement work structures Mijke and Nat’s approach to transfeminism, ahead of their new book Trans Femme Futures.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
