Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?
A joyful conversation discussing disability, gender transition and care labour as expressions of virtuosic and innovative skills that make care – good care – possible.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
