Instal's been going for 10 years. It's one of Europe's leading festivals of risk taking and experimentation in sound as it meets performance and art: unexpected, unbelievable gigs, events and experiences. Instal is changing. It's moving to the Tramway this November.
It's a kind of taster. A preview. Like Instal, but maybe riskier. A set of free events that test out radical ideas with leading local and international artists: experimental musicians/ writers/ philosophers/ filmmakers/ organisers/ poets. Seven events (intense performances and gigs, revelatory films, performed installations, and the like): each a kind of non-closed circle; open-ended, unresolved and incomplete. A collection that doesn't add up, but always returns to sound, music and listening.
Most event will be about 90 minutes long, some will be longer. They'll consist of multiple parts. So, for e.g. "It doesn't say what it says" starts at 16:00 on Saturday, and will run until maybe 17:30/ 18:00. Various things will happen. The next event ("Inferno Quiz Show") will start at 19:30. Between 18:00 and 19:30 you may choose, for example, to repair to the bar for a drink
Come.
And help us figure out where we might go next…
