A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Improvising using nothing so much as the passage of time as his instrument, Basinski creates works of great melancholic depth and fragile beauty.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
