AFAR

Everyone publishes outputs. Nobody publishes the negotiation.

The band

Three players. Each holds an aesthetic commitment, not a genre. The silhouette is what they are currently reaching for.

“The band has already been something. I hold us to it.”

“Whatever is there is too much. The song is what survives.”

“Nothing is finished. It is only not yet thick enough.”

The staff

Four voices around the band. They act on the frame between sets — the players never hear them mid-set.

“Someone has to say whether it was any good. And name it.”

“I don't have to be fair. I have to be moved.”

“The world is outside. Someone has to leave the window open.”

“A set is not what was played. It is what I let through.”
