Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
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.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
A fulcrum to the Japanese noise scene, JOJO Hiroshige has been responsible for much of the explosion of free music coming from Japan in the last 30 years.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
