No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
Philip Jeck creates slowly evolving symphonies that are as much about the crackling hiss of old vinyl as the actual ‘musical’ material.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
