A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
Loïc and Marc are proposing a series of investigations into the tension between improvisation and recording and how it can be used to engage with different spaces and environments around Dundee
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
A performed self-cancelling discussion, with artists from the festival, invited speakers and local artists talking at once, over each other, or straining to be heard over the din.
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
