Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
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.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
