An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
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.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
The first of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme focuses on the forebearers of filmic and musical innovation over the last 70 years.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
