Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
For day five of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will review the previous work undertaken together, and perhaps draw up a summary of reflections and pose some future questions.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
We’ll look at the language and politics of what gets ‘mental health’ and consider more holistic understandings of experiences that honour the connection between mind/body/soul, and that acknowledge social and political context.
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
What kind of listening and acknowledging do we offer each other? What is it to listen to an ‘elsewhere’, and do we ever do anything else when we listen to music?
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.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
