Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments. From there anything could happen.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Gravitational Feel is an engine for intensifying the differentiation of our entanglement, which you continually reprogramme in the mutual rub, shift and lap of its sonic, wooden, steel, textile and human material.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
