Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.

One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.

Experience a sense of being in the world, in a specific space and time. Including Jeanne Liotta’s recordings of the ionosphere and Walter Ruttmann’s radical 35mm precursor to musique concrète.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
