Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
Ray and Thomas talking about how cognitive neuroscience is unlocking the physical basis of personal experience.

Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Brain boiling duo improvisation by great Japanese no input mixing desk pioneer Toshi Nakamura and french organ philosopher Jean-Luc Guionnet.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
