Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Folk poet, actor and bon viveur Kan Mikami in duo with Jojo Hiroshige, a founding member of Japanese Noise band Hijokaidan.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Beat poet Ira Cohen’s now infamous and wildly psychedelic film odyssey feeds one’s own seeing apparatus through beautifully warped and distorting mylar mirrors, resulting in a film dense and rich with visual arcana and poetry.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Includes: tamed TV snow, video feedback of racing particles, a remake of a polish photogram film destroyed in WWII, a visual and aural representation of Gestalt theory, hole-punched film and Guy Sherwin’s Cycles 3 double-projection.
