Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Low-end drone guitarage army since 1997: nobody has done more on this occasion by a gaggle of sludge-lovers from the Scottish underground.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
In true reality television style, this in-depth artist talk will tackle all the hardest-hitting questions and juiciest details about care, creative collaboration, and disability justice.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
