GIO’s bottomless throat, Blood Stereo’s slobber gobbler and the Mouth Of The South tangle tonsils over Steve McCaffrey’s Carnival
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
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.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
West Coast drone-age guitar grumbler/ consumer electronic reclaimer meets free-thinking clang/ chime/ drone bluesman of The East.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Jumping off from Sun Ra’s thoughts on evil, and the Alien films, this performance will explore how the sociality Sondra wants to visualise and participate in has no interest in respectability.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
