Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
