“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.

Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.

A conversation of intergenerational trans-resistance and anti-racist fierceness between two of the most inspiring public speakers we know.

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
