Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
