In the Foyer at the Tramway we will screen a documentary from the Sex Workers’ Festival of Resistance 2017 and La Llamada by Eduardo Restrepo Castaño.
Noise music for the eyes: projectors turned into instruments, B&W film loops into a thrumming riot of colour, motion and sound.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
Includes: a £20 note, stock fluctuations, an examination of words in the video medium, a linguistic challenge for your mind, a frame by frame dissection 50 words, shop front poetry, image and language head to head and newspapers under the microscope.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
