The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
The first INSTAL festival (programmed by Barry Esson of Arika and Tiernan Kelly) featured a line-up including Robert Lippock, Philip Jeck, Fennesz, Paragon Ensemble, Icebreaker International, Defaalt and Rhomboi.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
As part of Karrabing’s visit to Scotland, the collective will be hosted for three days in the Isle of Skye by The School of Plural Futures.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.

Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
