Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
