Duo performance by two great French musique concrète improvisers using feedback, contact mics, tape, an old Revox tape machine, a vintage synth…
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.

Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Thought and action, writing and protesting. A chat with Nat Raha, KUCHENGA and Jackie Wang asking what can be learnt from writing across genres by agitators, activists and abolitionists?
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
The Songspiels take on a mode of musical theatre developed by playwright Bertolt Brecht and composer Kurt Weill in the early twentieth century, presenting political and social concerns through the accessible and (often funny) form of song.
Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
