Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
