INSTAL’s third outing saw performances by AMM, Cosmos (Sachiko M & Ami Yoshida), Voreboms, Vibracathedral Orchestra with Matthew Bower and John Godbert, Paragon Ensemble, Merzbow and Ryoji Ikeda.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.

Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
