With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.

Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
Brain boiling duo improvisation by great Japanese no input mixing desk pioneer Toshi Nakamura and french organ philosopher Jean-Luc Guionnet.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
