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.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Complex ways of understanding our complex times. Maths & Poetics. Gesture & Physics. Collectivist Struggle & Desire. 5 days of performances, discussions, screenings and study sessions.
What’s the relationship between the eternal hum of the oceanic beloved and the persistence of vorticity in fluid dynamics? And how does Alice Coltrane’s harp help us stay there?
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Discussion with David Keenan: an author, critic and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is best known for the reviews and features he has contributed to The Wire.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
