Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
A performed lecture concerned with Renaissance occult (musical) thinkers of the cosmic who put forward the notion of the “disharmony of the world”
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.

Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
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.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
