Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
A party and fundraiser to support Sex Workers’ struggles and LGBT Unity with music and performances from the sex workers’ community and allies, plus DJ’s and dancing.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
Do ideas emerging from particle physics help to re-think of blackness as a mode of life in which it’s possible to practice difference without separation?
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Introducing and setting intentions for a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
