Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.

Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
