2016.05.11: De Stihl: Olivier Lebrun and Olivier Lellouche; 24 hours Electronic Improvisation by Romain Turzi (Turzi/Record Makers); Hum<<>>bros: Charles Dubois and Simon Puiroux. Studio for Immediate Spaces, Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam, Overschiestraat 188, Amsterdam.

‘You are deaf to the Song of Life and Space for ever and ever, for you are dying, dying …’ Once physically bound hand and foot, he was also bound by the following statement: Wrap him about the sacred wrappings of the Past, in the ancient conventions wrap him about. Enfold him in mythology and theology; in the vast labyrinths of mystick and magical creeds and dogmas encas him; enwrap his mummified remains in the wrappings and bandages of the ancient Taboos and traditions of primitive man in the bindings of the long forgotten restrictions and constraints of all ancien priestly fraternities and brotherhoods bind him, bind him, wrap and encase him … A death chant of ‘Nothing is. Nothing becomes. Nothing is not’ was cast over the initiate’s body to mark his entry into the abyss and his departure from the world.
