METRO MANILA INCIDENT REPORT
噪硬马尼拉
2026.4.30 at Mow’s, Quezon city, PH
A temporary zone of signal rupture in the capital. For one night, operators from across Asia and beyond assemble inside Mow’s to transmit raw electronics, broken rhythm, industrial debris, and hostile improvisation. This is not a conventional concert.
It is a field report from the global noise underground—artists working at the edges of circuitry, feedback, and psychological pressure. Each set functions as an autonomous transmission: harsh noise, power electronics, industrial rhythm, and experimental sabotage moving between regions and scenes. From the Philippines’ most uncompromising operators to visiting signal terrorists from Taiwan, China, Singapore, Italy and beyond, the night documents a living network of sound extremists pushing against the limits of live performance. A gathering of machines, bodies, and frequency violence.
An incident logged in the archives of underground sound culture.
[20260301] Taiwan Tour 2026 with Vir Torres
As an experimental sound and movement duo, ChiaChun Xu and Vir Torres explore the meeting point between Butoh and Flamenco through improvisation. Torres’s movement language navigates the porous boundary between Butoh and Flamenco, tracing a shifting terrain where ritualized stillness, intensity, and rhythmic impulse intersect. Through improvisation, the body oscillates between grounded percussive presence and slow states of transformation. Xu responds with no-input mixing board, producing a constantly evolving sonic field. In real time, vibration, gesture, and spatial resonance influence one another, forming a shared environment where movement and sound emerge together. The work operates as a process of mutual listening, exploring the thresholds between rhythm and silence, expanding dialogue between two distinct yet converging traditions.
