Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
