From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
The first of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
