William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
