This Week in Experimental vol 172

Anyone else the most tired they’ve ever been?

Oct 15, 2024

Hello Experimenters!

Plugging through another week deeply exhausted but after seeing a film that really energized my own love of the work and what’s possible. I feel incredibly grateful to have traveled to see Sharlene Bamboat’s Both, Instrument & Sound. If you get the chance to see it, do yourself a favor and check it out. I’m hard pressed to think of a better 40-minute film.

Deep gratitude and love to Shar, Kaija, and the team at EMPAC for that much needed boost.

Gabby
