Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.
Performances of compositions by Jean-Luc Guionnet and others, with Julia Letitia Scott, Iain Campbell F-W, Neil Davidson, Fritz Welch, Liene Rozite, Emilia Beatriz.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
“The miracle of Herman Melville is this: that a hundred years ago in Moby Dick…he painted a picture of the world in which we live, which is to this day unsurpassed.” – C. L. R. James

From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
