The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
There are core ways in which our listening to the radio differs from other kinds of listening. What happens when we pay attention to how we pay attention?
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
An introduction to gender and embodiment for cisgender folk (i.e. those whose experience aligns with their assigned gender). This will look at the ways our embodied experiences are shaped by our gender, and explore what it means to support trans siblings in practice. This session will be led by Tripod.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Edinburgh. Sinewave manipulating Giant Tank-ette goes head-to-head with Decaer Pinga’s first lady of noise.

This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Sarah Washington uses electronics and wind-up radios, running out of charge to repsond to the festivals’ Self Cancellation provocation.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
