A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Nikos played every note that it’s possible to play on the cello, all played back as a one hour drone, while the cello was turned to powder and bottled.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.

A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
