A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.

Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
