A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
