CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
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.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
What happens when you are engaged in a deep and extended artistic practice that intersects between literature and music, notation and improvisation, sight and sound?
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
