Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.

Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.
An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
