Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
An audio report for the NATOarts board of directors that seeks to promote global security and stability through the exhibition of works of conceptual art.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
