UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A performed reflection on Malin’s previous re-enacting of a super influential landmark of performance art from the French feminist and artist Gina Pane.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Blood Stereo & Ludo Mich: linking past and present generations of DIY intuitive expression in a post fluxus ‘big mess’.

Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
