Twenty vinyl records connect the shadowed edges of post-punk, industrial and synth-pop, with submerged rhythms, frayed guitars and spectral voices drawing a line from early eighties experiments to 2012.

Seventy-eight unreleased works from 2000–2012 form a continuous live set, where fractured rhythms, distorted melodies and microscopic sound events keep shifting the depth and shape of the surrounding space.

Thirty-four solo performances become an imaginary ensemble, with strings, reeds, percussion and spoken fragments meticulously layered into a cinematic montage shaped by theatre and the art of sampling.

Scanner

Scanner builds a cinematic collage around the letter A, interweaving twenty-nine record cuts with film dialogue, scanned conversations and broadcast fragments. His own works meet Aphex Twin, Tim Hecker and Alva Noto in a densely layered exploration of sound and narrative.

36

36 moves from ambient stillness into the submerged pulse of dub techno, threading twenty records into an autumnal audio collage. Two of his own compositions meet Biosphere, Tim Hecker, Deepchord and Burial in a deeply emotional, continuously unfolding sequence.
