A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”

A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
Three days of discussions, performances, actions, dancing and food – continuing No Total’s ongoing contemplation of ways of being together and the ways Arika have been entangled in those, ever since Episode 4.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
AMM have undoubtedly been among the most important contributors to the UK free improv scene for nearly 40 years and we are extremely proud to be able to be working with such distinguished musicians who still rarely play live in the UK.

A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
