Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present
Tyler Hubby / 2016 / 96 minutes / United States
From performing in Jack Smith’s legendary Flaming Creatures to creating a series of groundbreaking experimental films to playing a pivotal role in the formation of The Velvet Underground, Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present, twenty-two years in the making, examines the pioneering life and work of artist, musician, and educator, Tony Conrad
MERTENS & STEENKISTE, the duo of Jef Mertens and Glen Steenkiste, plunge into the noise of 60s style minimalism and 90s drone wall heaviness with their combined efforts on the Japanese taishogoto and otherworldly pythagorean harp. One way street into neverending bliss and disorientation.
TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS is a curatorial network and interdisciplinary platform, live-event presenter, and fine-arts publisher of print, audio, and film, lauded by Pitchfork Media as “a national treasure.” Since its origin as a record label in 1993, TotE has been dedicated to preserving, promoting, and promulgating works by international creators of experimental audio, electroacoustics, free-improvised performance, sonic sculpture, microtonality, and modern composition. The label’s 150-plus releases are a vital contemporary chronicle, a survey of meaningful eruptions across a broad horizon of sound and vision. Each project demonstrates how a publishing concern might romp wild, unbridled from the carousel of convention. www.tableoftheelements.co.uk
