Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
A talk entitled ‘The Conquest of the Universe’: which delves into the connections between the underground filmmakers and musicians in New York in the early 1960s
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”
Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
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.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
A panel exploring the radical potential of technologies through fugitivity and opacity: their ability to obscure, to make it impossible for us to be known, to render us untraceable by every arm of the state even under the all-consuming spectre of surveillance capital.

Ecstatic, scalding and ludicrously heavy, nobody matches Incapacitants for live noise energy. One of the most exhilarating live acts in underground music.
