A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Our Zooms are unmuted, our mics are open, and our hearts and bodyminds are receptive. We give the floor online and in person to you…
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.

How do we gesture to the invisible, the trans or the obscure? A performative conversation between boychild and Fernando, a sharing of gestures, and a bodily back and forth between mathematician and dance artist.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
