Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
A talk entitled ‘The Conquest of the Universe’: which delves into the connections between the underground filmmakers and musicians in New York in the early 1960s
First in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. Does work that asks us to be attentive to the needs of others force us to sell our capacity for kindness?
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
