Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…

Veterans of the psych-infused UK free noise scene, the Vibracathedral Orchestra is a hypnotic ur-drone group hailing from Leeds.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).

Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
