*1-* *MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH.... Andy Votel. Part I*


Over the past twenty years, Andy Votel has travelled far and wide in a
quest to buy as many records as he could. His main motivation is to listen
to music, and the only way to get the music he likes is generally to buy
and collect it.

* 5- EN CRISIS #4. Reflections at a critical juncture: Daniela Ortiz,
Marcelo Expósito and Miguel Noguera. *


Overwhelmed by the institutionalised discourse of politics and economists,
we invite artists, philosophers, researchers and poets to share their ideas
about what is happening to us, to comment on the positive and negative
implications of this structural crisis, and to imagine an uncertain future.

There's no end of things that have been laid on, tied to, screwed into or

sixth programme draws a map and explores some of the outer reaches of
string and wind preparations.
