Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.

Looking at and listening to different ideas about sound and music, INSTAL 09’s collection of artists included Tetsuo Kogawa, vocalist Joan La Barbara, Phil Minton (and his Century FC feral choir), Austrian Actionist Hermann Nitsch, Steve McCaffery and many more.
