An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.

A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
