About
** NOTE: This Puget Soundtrack was originally scheduled in June and was postponed to September 26, 2019! **
The Emergency Labyrinth is a 40-foot long scroll of sumi ink drawings created and illustrated by long-time musician and artist Arrington de Dionyso. Nearly every brushstroke of its creation was documented in roughly 28,000 frames of stop-motion animation to produce this ecstatic black-and-white film.
Arrington will perform a live score to the work, with the assistance of This Saxophone Kills Fascists, a project which channels the energy of Spiritual Free Jazz in search of new forms and directions for contemporary PROTEST MUSIC. For This Saxophone Kills Fascists, abstraction in music as RESISTANCE. Not preaching to the converted, but here to offer prayer, strength and medicine for difficult times.
VY//BLE by Mike Gamble
Participatory Flow State Tour 1 by IXNAY
IXNAY’s Participatory Flow State Tour 1 (27 min.) looks at how luxury and socialization reveal our animal innocence. Correspondences across time and memory birth their own emotional beings not bounded by ideas of form and control.
IXNAY is the performance duo of Maxx Katz (FLOOM) and John Niekrasz (Sporting, Why I Must Be Careful).
