Can our favourite Vegas-born poet of prophetic blackness and a South Central transmuter of social rage into beauty feel through each other?

French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
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.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
