attention. Curated by Florian Hecker

culminates in a chimerical auditory experience.

*4- MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH.... Jonny Trunk. Part I

*5- INTERRUPTIONS #6. Ontology of vibration: economics, music and number.

*6- PROBES #2.2. Auxiliaries. Curated by Chris Cutler

*7- PROBES #3. Curated by Chris Cutler
*This is where pitch becomes weightless and all that is solid melts into
air: futurism, noise, electricity, ecstasy and uncertainty. We look at the
lure and power of sliding tones.

*9- PROBES #2. Curated by Chris Cutler
*All the 'normal' music we listen to is out of tune, especially when it’s
'in tune'. So, should music be in harmony with the laws of physics, or
adjusted to fit the wishful thinking of stave notation?
