Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
