Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
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.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.

The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
