UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.

Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
