There are core ways in which our listening to the radio differs from other kinds of listening. What happens when we pay attention to how we pay attention?
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
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.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
The production of moving image (film) by the mechanically, unfalteringly repetitive manipulation of mass-produced materials (film), in order to explore three different allegorical representations (films) of repetitive human actions and labour under capital.
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
