Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Life and death dramas unfold in the snowy American North, using three-screen documentary footage and a soundtrack by KYTN favourite, vocalist Daniel Menche.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A full-blooded, emotional attempt to reinvigorate improvisation from a musically inclined philosopher and two philosophically inclined improvisers.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
