Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
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.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
