Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.
Three intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Two bottomless brunch writing workshops—with readings—speculating the relationship between space, infrastructure, technologies and sex.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Vajra are a Japanese psychedelic rock supergroup, hewn from the collective consciousness of Fushitsusha’s Keiji Haino, folk radical Kan Mikami and percussionist Toshiaki Ishitsuka.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
