Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
A film installation as both allegory and investigation of The Rockridge Institute and their research into ‘framing’ and the use of metaphor within political discourse.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
