An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
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.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
