A Festival supporting the struggle for Sex Workers’ Rights: share knowledge, discuss, dance and strategise!
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Perhaps the paradigm of America’s covert musical subculture, Sun City Girls operate just over the border of raucous delirium.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Kanta is a young Japanese artist with a home-made, short circuited take on electronics and physical phenomena which he uses in performance to produce close circuit systems of audio / video feedback.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
60 minutes of hard ass minimal film, projected onto a weather balloon and accompanied by the inspired poetic rant of a visionary Frenchman.
