Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
A collaborative social justice project that uses art, activism and awareness to combat the systemic oppression facing young, trans, queer & gender nonconforming people of colour.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
