Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Summer Solstice hang out IRL and URL on 21 June
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Sarah Washington uses electronics and wind-up radios, running out of charge to repsond to the festivals’ Self Cancellation provocation.
