Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
There exist places in our towns and cities that are created not by design, but by circumstance. Shadowed Spaces was a tour of overlooked, bypassed and unconsidered nooks and crannies with 3 musicians.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.

Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
