Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
