A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
