weird aftertaste #7 (pink fest edition!)

All sound is queer. The “all” means: any, and each, and their endless summation, the sound of the world.
– Drew Daniel, from All Sound is Queer

–

This Pride month, step into a pole studio and tune into the sound of the world with weird aftertaste. Enter psychedelic soundscapes. Become one with meditative grooves. Bear witness to dramatic soliloquies.

–

Find common breath with the community and join us in the collective act of sounding and listening through a series of participatory pieces (non-musicians VERY welcome!) by sonic visionary Pauline Oliveros. And then experience the unyielding monolith of sound that is Julius Eastman’s polemical Gay Guerrilla.

–

(Also, FREE POLE TRIAL for all attendees, redeemable after the gig!)

–

weird aftertaste is an artist-driven music collective that exists as a platform in Singapore for today’s best contemporary concert work. Advocates for the experimental, risky and non-commercial in sound, the group’s no-holds-barred approach to programming has led to performances of work not just by genre-defining stalwarts of new music, but also the lesser explored music of young innovators and quiet visionaries both locally and abroad.
