Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Usurper jamming live in a skip at the site of Bud’s Neill’s Lobey Dosser statue on Woodlands Road.
