Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.

First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
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.

Some of the most breathtaking, delicate and smoke filled guitar playing this side of Loren Connors or the quieter sides of Keiji Haino.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Radu plays a trombone, Klaus creates pure sine waves: they sound on their own, or sometimes together and often with considerable space and silence.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
How do communities practice being one another’s means, addressing their material problems facing them replicating the state’s violent logic of who is disposable.
