Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.

Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Kenneth Goldsmith reads extracts of his conceptual poetry and Achim Wollscheid manipulates mobile phone signals.
