A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
Series of short sets by Acid Mothers Temple / Ruins offshoots Zubi Zuva X, Akaten & Zoffy.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Christian Bök‘s work spans thrillingly conceptual poetry to body-shaking vocal performances.
