Ticket reservations are recommended. Performers: Ulrich Krieger is a German composer and saxophonist living in Southern California.

He collaborated and performed with Lou Reed, Merzbow, Carl Stone, John Zorn, Lee Ranaldo, Christian Marclay, Faust, Phill Niblock, Berlin Philharmonics, Ensemble Modern, Musikfabrik, PARTCH Ensemble, and many more.

He is professor for composition and rock music at CalArts. <a style="color:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit">www.ulrich-krieger.com</a> Michael Pisaro-Liu is a guitarist and composer and a long-time member of the Wandelweiser collective. While, like other members of Wandelweiser, Pisaro-Liu is known for pieces of long duration with periods of silence, over the past two decades his work has branched out in many directions, including work with field recording, electronics, improvisation and large ensembles of very different kinds of instrumental constitution. Pisaro-Liu is the Director of Composition and Experimental Music the California Institute of the Arts. Eyvind Kang’s recent albums are Azure (with Jessika Kenney, 2023), Sonic Gnostic (2021) and Ajaeng Ajaeng (2020).

Over his nearly 40-year career, he has made over 200 films of varying length. He made his first film, Interim (1952) at age 18 after dropping out of college. Brakhage films seek to change the way we see. They encourage viewers to eschew traditional narrative structure in favor of pure visual perception that is not reliant on naming what is seen; rather his goal is to create a more visceral visual experience, for he believes that a "stream-of visual-consciousness could be nothing less than the pathway of the soul."
