Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A film as a translation of Monique Wittig’s landmark feminist novel Les Guérillères, in which a plural protagonist of militant feminists inhabit a fantastical, enigmatic and hallucinatory miasmatic space-time of post Hurricane Maria Puerto Rico.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?
Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.
Renouncing the bind of the written word, Chopin’s sound poetry is a magical evocation of the pure powers of the voices, stripped bare of language.
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”.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
