Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Solo organ performance by German composer Eva-Maria Houben, which focuses on ‘nearly nothing’ to expand the way we listen.
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
