Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.

Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.

Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
