A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.
