Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
Copying without Copying is 3 evenings of events that are about what happens when we speak, or when we hear someone speak on our behalf, when we share a collective moment of hearing and maybe understanding.
A poetic multi-screen performance about “the inadequacy of the arbitrary passing moment and the impossibility of permanence”. About time and change.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
