In this response to the Self Cancellation project, Lee Patterson dissolves medicine in glasses of water and explores the sonic content.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Save the dates for Episode 12.
Wednesday 11 – Sunday 15 November 2026
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
