Strike and Blow, stoking electrical and other bits of sciencefact to keep YOUR FEET improvising conti-nuously intensive details. Improvements. Biological fiction. Still…you gotta keep moving aintcha? (Lipsmacks) Guts pulled at gibet, 1st swimming lesson. Drones hold their entrails runin’ all over the bloody place – batty. Tiny scales on the window sill
boiled in death-throw-frozen-still nipple-legs PLEEEASE maybe a trade for something better still, here’s to hopin’, metamorphy and maybe some soul-transmigrationary sewn on broadsheetglos- sy-stuffed tights or…better still…jam today jam today jam today jam today…smells well bad but feels good held against YOUR TONGUE sizzles popping-candy chocolate spangles. Trying new things: midi-fresco tattoo meanly stained on mid an.alBUM didn’t know YOUR LOVER wanted until it flows, wept into the sheets. Bosch machine spin- nin’on extrahot EP heartsichord in concert with… oh!…and that nice fuzzy YOUR-MOM-still laughin’ feelin’ streamin’ Ye olde-sitcom song…just when you thought you’d get round to the washingup then damn n blast your goggly eyes, its pudding time again! Steamed.
Part of the Festival d’Automne à Paris.
Trombonist and composer Alex Paxton, a rising figure in improvisation and composition, presents two premieres that showcase his exuberant vitality—strikingly contrasted by the introspective music of Australian composer Lisa Illean. Rebecca Saunders, for her part, brings together intimacy and raw intensity in both sound and voice. Inspired by poet Ed Atkins, her piece Us Dead Talk Love heralded her first opera, Lash, premiered in Berlin in June 2025.
