Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
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.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
If life is assaulted by power, where do we find spaces for living? A conversation with Peter Pál Pelbart.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
One of the most startling cinematic debuts on record, The Flicker is more a hallucination than a film, an out of body experience and riotous celebration of visual harmonics frequencies. An experiment in perception, come with your mind and eyes open.
A system in which oscillators shake The Arches, seismographs pick up the harmonics that are then amplified through massive sub-bass PA.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
