Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Psychedelic and intense, and featuring some of the most visually stunning, mesmerizing and transcendent experiences you can imagine, batten down the hatches for some of the boldest, most immersive and abrasive works in experimental cinema.
Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
Radical transfeminism aims to hold the space for finding relations between the ruins of the everyday. Emerging from the debris, spaces for politics find form as poetics to carry understandings, actions and be/longings.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
