A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
