A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
An extravagant debauch of plush toys and ritual. Palestine performed a version of Strumming Music, a trance inducing investigation into overtone systems achievable on a Bosendorfer Imperial Piano.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Glasgow based contemporary music group Paragon Ensemble performing an improvisation with Pete Dowling, Nick Fells, Robert Irvine and others.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
