Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
A testimony to poverty from Chris’s own experiences, and an invitation to engage with an all too typical situation and context through a kind of imaginary listening.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Slowly evolving ultra-subtle harmonics and multi-tracked, otherworldly drones that only reveal their true power at high volume.

Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.
