What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
Duo performance by two great French musique concrète improvisers using feedback, contact mics, tape, an old Revox tape machine, a vintage synth…
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
