A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
Some of the most breathtaking, delicate and smoke filled guitar playing this side of Loren Connors or the quieter sides of Keiji Haino.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
