A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
Conceptual writer and practicing lawyer Vanessa Place performs and talks with Mark Sanders, author of the brilliant “Complicities: The Intellectual and Apartheid”
Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
