A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
