An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
The 2006 INSTAL festival saw a broad selection of artists that included Blood Stereo and Ludo Mich, Ellen Fullman and Sean Meehan, Keiji Haino and Tony Conrad and a specially created performance by Maryanne Amacher.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
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.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
