An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.

Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
