Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
How black radical practices of abolition imagine a way out of the caging and mass killing of life.

William cradles, hammers, and rains down blows, plucking and using 2 bows to attack the strings above and below the bridge, all in the service of a fiery and passionate creativity.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.

A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
