Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
Is it possible to dance our way out of the hardened stances and identity prisons we are locked in?
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
A workshop for educators, activists and young people to think about radical, anti-imperialist pedagogy, and what fighting for the Palestinian cause looks like for young people in the imperial core. PDF of the resource available soon.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
