A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
