For the second performance at 28.MFRU Simon Whetham will present a live multichannel version of the 2020 Misanthropic Agenda release Forced to Repeat Myself, composed of sonic materials generated and collected while touring in 2018. Sounds will come at the audience from all directions, from objects and surfaces, shifting over time and through space. " There's often an eavesdropping sensation at play in this scattered anti-music – intercepting distant frequencies, patching into intrepid robot cleaners as they make their rounds, floods rising in basements, small shelf trays of nuts, bolts, and screws shaken by tremors. Forced to Repeat Myself sputters, sizzles, and squelches appreciably, inconsistently sketched one moment and unspeakably immense the next." (Raymond Cummings, The Wire magazine, January 2021)
