A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.

Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, a devoutly organic tapestry deeply rooted in the sway and bow of nature.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
