A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
The program of composed music including Feldman’s Instruments III, Ligeti’s piece for 100 Metronomes Poeme Sympathetique, and Rebonds B by Iannis Xenakis.
Dir. Nicolas Philibert
Documentary of La Borde clinic in France and its radical politics of experimentation, in which residents and staff reciprocate in a kind of entanglement, an opening up amongst themselves.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Dead Labour Process drool-tape farmer, squeaking/creaking Usurper brother and Peeesseye’s yodelling traps-man hold a real OUT splutter party.
In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
