Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
The Tower performance at KYTN throws into that mix the 70’s fluxus light shows and films of Jeff Perkins and other filmic interventions tuned to their unique frequency.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Jarrod Fowler and Christof Migone kick things off with performances involving edible plants, a saw, dandruff, and Christof responding to the prompt: “as far as you can for as long as you can.”
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
