We Know How To Hate - The Opus De Society story (Book)
Before the internet collapsed distances and democratized distribution, the international noise underground operated through an intricate web of mail-order catalogs, hand-dubbed cassettes, and photocopied fanzines. Labels emerged from bedrooms and basements, their catalogs circulating through postal networks that connected isolated outposts of extreme sound across continents. Few figures navigated this world as actively as Frans de Waard, and few labels embodied its uncompromising spirit as purel…
Appearance/Music for Solo Performer

A Grammar for Listening
2008. Paris and Glasgow. Eric La Casa recording sounds for Luke Fowler's 16mm triptych. Not compositions but investigations into the infra-ordinary - that space-time at low intensity where background noise meets the inaudible. How to create a meaningful dialogue between looking and listening? This question drove Fowler's film cycle. La Casa's answer: find a listening point in relation to everything taking place. The microphones amplify all living substances in motion - from the interior of the b…

Now watch this drive
Now watch this drive is an experimental six-part work of poetic prose written and performed by Angharad Williams. The narrative is fragmented and shifts between different modes—prison memoir, surreal romance, apocalyptic landscapes. Haunting and sensual, it follows a lone and desperate protagonist through escape, desire, and estrangement, drifting between incarceration and a dark, suffocating past toward flickers of personal freedom.
The work deals with survival strategies, queer relationships, …
Gold and Ashes
Our first object of inquiry and care should be life. We know the reason for that as we are living beings in a situation in which the conditions of life are endangered. What has no place in this ecological discourse is death. The fact that death is difficult to acknowledge is not new, but in our contemporary situation, death has a new face.Gold and Ashes extends beyond representation to become an intimate act of excavation that proposes to mediate—materially, politically, and metaphysically—the r…

Independent Television
Independent Television unspools as a delirious, inside-out broadcast from the suburbs of perception. Arek Gulbenkoglu and Matthew Revert orchestrate a hall-of-mirrors soundtrack where the casual and the uncanny trade places, inviting listeners to attune themselves to the mutable psychic frequencies flickering just beyond the edge of comprehension.
Old Tales Retold
Austere and uncanny, Old Tales Retold finds Yan Jun and Taku Unami delving into narrative fragmentation and acoustic twilight, constructing an album that feels less like a recounting and more like listening in on the pulse of folklore as it dissolves. Sonic atmosphere fractures as much as it reveals, leaving the listener suspended between recollection and anticipation.
