Let’s start. Empty spaces, as suspended during a break, waiting for the next exhibition. A space and time in-between. Here the sound as a foreword, in its materiality, in all its intensity variations. The beating (from the microtones) is beating me down, a statement written by Phill Niblock, considers the sound in all its infinite forms, and announces meaning’s explosion.
The sound takes shape and this shape builds where it destroys itself – between recording accumulations facing real time (Hauser) – fragments of the past replayed (Boyle Family), sound generated by light projections (McClure), the sensitive recollection of a live destruction (Einheit) and announcement of a future exhibition. (Sander)
