Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
One-shot sonic portraits of 4 houses, their inhabitants and their relationship to sound, from 2 of the most deep-thinking field-recording artists around.
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
Inhabiting a different kind of energy, Ueinzz’s open rehearsals reveal a glimpse into their ongoing daily theatrical modes of caring – multiplying the ways in which their plays are meant to be felt, rather than understood.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
