Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Arika is working in partnership with Decriminalised Futures on a multi year collaboration featuring multiple creative projects exploring sex worker lives, experiences and movement struggles.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A panel exploring how to dismantle the master’s house — its material edifices and ideological architecture — and the construction of abolitionist futures in the present.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
