An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.

Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
