Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A tour with John Butcher and Akio Suzuki that set out to allow the audience to experience (and to listen to) the enviroment around them in different way.
A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
A 3-day exploration – through performance, screenings and discussion – of the art and politics of wayward communities who refuse to be bound by the fictions of race and sex.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
Conceptual choreography as critique, in Ligia’s film of Caribbean plots and scandals, and the possibilities of anti-colonial revenge, rest and repair.
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.”
