Link to hosted file: Creatures Audiozine 01 - Decentralization Burn-out and Hijack [welcome to add comment to timeline via a SoundCloud account]
This audiozine pastes together conversation around ET grilling, open camp model, festival activity in 2013-2015, decentralization within the association, changing production teams, burn out, and the semi-serious 'positive hijacking' taking Pixelache forwards. Featured objects in the office include liquid smoke, a fabric scheduling device, a megaphone, and a hacked exercise bike.
