A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Edinburgh. Cask-strength electrohypnol and shroom damaged folk croonings by Lapsed Electronics empire builder.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
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.
A festival asking how ideas of nihilism, darkness, subjectivity and abjection play out in experimental music, performance art, horror, neuroscience and philosophy?
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?

Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
