The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
Philip Jeck creates slowly evolving symphonies that are as much about the crackling hiss of old vinyl as the actual ‘musical’ material.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
