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.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
