An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
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.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
Greek TV company Onos Productions came to INSTAL 09 to document the festival and report on Nikos Veliotis’ Cello Powder performance.
Part old-fashioned Renaissance man, part hardcore avant-gardist, the Canadian painter-photographer-filmmaker-musician gives full vent to his genius in the exhilarating perceptual vaudeville, named after the ‘central region’ of tissue that acts as a conduit between the brain’s two hemispheres.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
