An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Philip Jeck creates slowly evolving symphonies that are as much about the crackling hiss of old vinyl as the actual ‘musical’ material.
Performing with hand built radio transmitters, which react to interference in the atmosphere and the electrical impedance of his hands, his radio art is a form of social practice; a statement in opposition to mass media.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Audio signals pass through light bulbs, causing the filaments of the bulbs to sing and crackle in a chorus of electronic static.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
