A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
These simple, one-take videos, relate personal experiences to the current conflicts in the Middle East via the most basic of means (a hotel room, a camcorder, John’s personal thoughts, concerns and convictions).
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
