Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.

Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
