Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.

Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
