Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Felix Hess is a unique crosser of the boundaries between science and art. He wrote his doctorial thesis on the aerodynamics of the boomerang
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.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
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).
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
