A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.

Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
