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).
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Loïc and Marc are proposing a series of investigations into the tension between improvisation and recording and how it can be used to engage with different spaces and environments around Dundee
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
Introducing and setting intentions for a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
