Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Sadia Shirazi & Mezna Qato will discuss a series of scores that explore the texture and landscape of exile, resistance, and Muslim sociality. These instructional scores trouble the idea that art and activism are untouched by faith and faith is untouched by art and activism.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
