Three (thankfully short) chats wherein we try and get at what’s eating us with regards to experimental music, and what we think might be worth salvaging.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
