Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.

Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
