Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.

Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
