How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Beat poet Ira Cohen’s now infamous and wildly psychedelic film odyssey feeds one’s own seeing apparatus through beautifully warped and distorting mylar mirrors, resulting in a film dense and rich with visual arcana and poetry.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
A fulcrum to the Japanese noise scene, JOJO Hiroshige has been responsible for much of the explosion of free music coming from Japan in the last 30 years.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
An assembly to try and provide some experiential and theoretical resources for the renewal of a certain affective, extra-political sociality, in the face of one of our great adversaries; the forces of colonial, imperial, genocidal denial.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
