Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
An open collaborative workshop space in which games, warm-up sessions, exercises and scenes are potentially the same thing, through which to project your own concerns onto the stage.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”

An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Taking our festivals south of the border to The Sage Gateshead we set out to offer a few cardinal pointers in the vast array of experimental music practices.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
