Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
Dead Labour Process drool-tape farmer, squeaking/creaking Usurper brother and Peeesseye’s yodelling traps-man hold a real OUT splutter party.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”

Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades

As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.
