Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Polly Shang Kuan Band coven leader and Sick Head’s psychedelic shaman Nackt Insecten make hex ritual to birth a new astral being….. Smack Insecten.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Glasgow. Free-playing quartet of bass/ cello/ voice from The Glasgow Improvisors Orchestra and Age Of Wire & String.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
