From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Shutter Interface is an expanded cinema piece: a series of machinegun bursts of chromatic relationships and visual harmonics in an overwhelming montage
An contradictory guitarist, he’s equally at home in slow, halting acoustic improvisation or piercing minimal examinations of electric guitar.

Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Taking over the gallery spaces at Dundee Contemporary Arts, the first Kill Your Timid Notion presented a 3 day programme of live immersive experiences and specially curated film programmes.
