An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
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?
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
A conversation between influential figures thinking through Blackness and Indigeneity, asking: what if we took seriously the possibility that this world, as we know it, may be coming to an end? We dread the loss of this world, but have we begun to imagine the one to come?
