Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
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.

A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
