Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.
Droner responsible for Fordell Research Unit, Muscletusk’s murk manipulator and Metzian concrete-mixer cement international relations and yr heids.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?

During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
