A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
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.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
The first 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 focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.
