ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Glasgow. Free-playing quartet of bass/ cello/ voice from The Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra and Age Of Wire & String.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
