Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
How do we make the connections between the mutual aid practices of our daily lives and anti-capitalist efforts to dismantle wider systems of exploitation?
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
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.
Boston duo of saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley approach their improvisations with a slew if extended techniques and pregnant silences.
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
