WRONG
1994 - CELEBRATING 16 YEARS OF PRETENTIOUS FREE-IMPROV
- 2010
NOW ON MYSPACE!

Don't second guess WRONG.

It's already built in and guaranteed to dis / appoint any expectation. Only by embracing loss can we curate the echoes of our own depth. Echostructure: based upon the full attainment of unattachment. WRONG is the misappropriation of the stream -of- consciousness vulnerability that steers past beauty into full-range climax. (This is for all you love gods out there.)

WRONG is an improvisational anti-structure exploring intimacy / adversary dynamics through ad hoc musical language and body / unconscious kinetics; a dys / functional aesthedit made interactive with Matter Energy Space Time and Artspeak.

WRONG has its hands out with no recruitment in mind. This is realized in a 3-Fold anti-plan for dis / satisfaction: Idea / Engagement / Emptyness. Intimacy through Confusion. A full exploration of intracontextual malaise via bootstrapping individual players' own limitations of flex / ability and capacity for direct, unmanaged communication, and against instinct on every level to burn away the False Self. Jam / Anti-Jam.

WRONG avoids Truth, yet constantly stumbles over it. What can be spoken shall; what cannot shall be held as subtext.

WRONG MOVES.
