Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Edinburgh. Cask-strength electrohypnol and shroom damaged folk croonings by Lapsed Electronics empire builder.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
