With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
