Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.

Jandek performing at the Scottish Rite Theatre in Austin, Texas with Juan Garcia, Nick Hennies and Chris Cogburn.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.

Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.
