Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
A conversation about the movement for prison abolition and refusing the logic of race and sex that underpins the criminalisation and mass incarceration of communities.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Adamantly analogue, inspiring and frequently chaotic in performance, Metamkine draw no distinction between image and sound; during their intuitively improvised performances music and images are created simultaneously and equitably.
