Keira Fox, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson and Vindicatrix present a new collaboration in COLLAPSE: the soundtrack to an escalating 3-act play set across multiple timelines (BC, industrial, merchandised), drawing on a site-specific project originally commissioned by Cripta 747 Torino and presented at Saint Pietro in Vincoli Cemetery.

‘The piece coalesces trans-temporal sites of city collapse from The Casa Delle Donne’s occupation of a historic women’s mental asylum, the Fiat Factory and the workers strikes of the 60s, to murderous 1970s shopping departments, and garage disappointments.’

Numbered & handmade in an edition of 50 copies with on-body screen print and eco-x slip; each copy contains three riso-printed cigarette cards.

COLLAPSE was launched on September 21 at St George-in-the-East Church, London E1, where Anne Gillis also performed.

purge.xxx releases music. It has been celebrated by The Wire magazine for its ‘disregard for the music industry, self-promotion and prevailing cultural norms,’ and an ‘ability to elevate distinct works and the obscure artists behind them.’ purge.xxx only releases music physically, unless a digital alternative has specifically been requested by a collaborating artist. It considers even the recording a compromise, but advocates things.

Everyone Else is a photographic podcast. The project looks to humanise strangers and make us more open to and curious about the people we do not know, using audio and photography to tell their stories. The podcast tells the experiences, thoughts, decisions, journeys and lessons learnt of strangers. Each of these stories is accompanied by a portrait shot by a film photographer. Together they provide a glimpse of something permanent in passing strangers who otherwise would remain unseen, unheard and indistinct.

Equipped with the sounds of the city on their way to the radio station, the group met for a radio programme in which the concept of the programme was discussed live in an on-air public editorial meeting. Fabi Lux used the material from all the participants, including the recording of this editorial meeting, as material for a remix.

Fabi mixed the sounds with DJ software, changed speeds, added effects and asked chance if it would like to contribute to the flow. Vienna Crawling is a mixtape that tells of the journey, of arriving and then inviting you to take another trip.
