A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.

Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
