60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
MICRO 1 – Wrap a live microphone with a very large sheet of paper. Make a light bundle. Keep the microphone live for another 5 minutes. T. Kosugi – (1961)
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
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.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
