A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
A three-day celebration surveying all manner of diverse musical activities, which at their core share a basic kinship: one of exploration and the discovery of musical expresssion.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
