Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
