Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.

This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
