An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.

How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
Boston duo of saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley approach their improvisations with a slew if extended techniques and pregnant silences.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
A Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by improviser yodeller, composer Phil Minton.
Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
