Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Although Tony had visited Haino in Japan, and they played together in private, this was the first time anyone other that Haino’s cat saw them perform together.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A workshop for educators, activists and young people to think about radical, anti-imperialist pedagogy, and what fighting for the Palestinian cause looks like for young people in the imperial core. PDF of the resource available soon.
