A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).

Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.

Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
