Edinburgh. Sinewave manipulating Giant Tank-ette goes head-to-head with Decaer Pinga’s first lady of noise.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
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.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Reading their letters to each other, and chatting about prefigurative politics as the practice of relentlessly building worlds through unspeakable violence and loss; of building worlds and living in them anyway.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Thirty lucky Instal punters experience Kylie’s pre-match aggro workout one-on-one in the darkness of an Arches dressing room.
