Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
An introduction to gender and embodiment for cisgender folk (i.e. those whose experience aligns with their assigned gender). This will look at the ways our embodied experiences are shaped by our gender, and explore what it means to support trans siblings in practice. This session will be led by Tripod.
MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Chip will read some of his great literary pornography, which pushes sexuality to the point of extremity and exhaustion.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
