ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Ten short intimate one-on-one conversations with Robert Softley Gale – We all want to see ourselves reflected in the world around us—in society, in art, in culture… in porn?
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
For this one off performance Vibracathedral Orchestra are joined by Matthew Bower and John Godbert from mighty UK heavy/drone/psych free-noise behemoths Skullfower, Sunroof! and Total.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
The site of the former Abbeyhill Station on the 1903 Leith branch of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith railway, overgrown and leading to as yet un-regenerated ‘wasteland’; taxi’s for 80 people, each instructed to take different routes between locations and; a slice of land concealed behind corporate business park branding off the Wester Approach Rd, apparently of no conceivable use and named ‘Chateaux de Scum’ by those who use it anyway.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
