A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.
