Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.

Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
