An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
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.
