Some of the most breathtaking, delicate and smoke filled guitar playing this side of Loren Connors or the quieter sides of Keiji Haino.

An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
