UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod. We will explore and address whiteness, embodied responses to racial tension and somatic techniques to build resilience for practicing anti-racist action. It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
Acting at the minimum. Each film here substitutes one small thing for another, (ironically) transforming received meanings by the simplest of actions; often kind of funny too.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
