A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
UNINSTAL was a set of events at Tramway that tested out radical ideas with leading local and international artists. A collection of events (performances, films, installations, walks and talks) about sound and listening.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.

Dead Labour Process drool-tape farmer, squeaking/creaking Usurper brother and Peeesseye’s yodelling traps-man hold a real OUT splutter party.
