Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
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.

The practice of North African Indigenous revolutionary love, in the face of European capitalist violence and settler colonialism, with one of the most vital anti-colonial thinkers in Europe.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
