Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
