Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Discussion: If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange” then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.
