During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
How do you know what you want? Should freedom be doing what you ought, not doing what you want? How might a philosopher and artist turn this thinking into an enabling condition in the context of noise and improvisation?
Discussion: If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange” then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?
Glasgow based contemporary music group Paragon Ensemble performing an improvisation with Pete Dowling, Nick Fells, Robert Irvine and others.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A double bill. A simple first person, Dundee-specific tracking shot that approaches the cinema/ screen/ space the film will eventually be shown in and in Brazilian opera house, a fixed camera gazes at a local audience from the stage: a choir, hidden in the orchestra pit, sings and gradually fades to silence.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
