Debauched: Witchery and Devilry Vol. 1 (1st Spell) (Book)

Alien Phenomenology (Book+CD)
Listening as the basis for social, bodily and passionate movement and transformation. Are we not moved by the things we hear? These energetic intrusions and ambiences that touch the skin, vibrate the air, evoke relations. Is there an alien force intrinsic to sonic experience and the currents of sound? Currents that pass across subjects and objects, and that give way to a multiplicity of rhythms, vocalities, gestures, scrapings. The work circles around listening as the basis for movement and tran…

Black Sound White Cube (Book)

But the White Cube truly …
