Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
HEAVY Japanese super group, featuring the sundown delta blues of Kan Mikami, Toshi Ishizuka’s heavy, time folding drumming and Masayoshi Urabe on sax, harmonica and chains.
Hijokaidan rapidly built a following due to the overwhelmingly physical intensity of their live performances, often involving destructive onstage rituals of vomit, urine, mangled guitars and ear shredding volume.
Morgan Fisher is a filmmaker of great wit and charm who uses the tools of experimental film to dissect the basic presuppositions of commercial cinema.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
