One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
Quartet improvisation by Klaus Filip – laptop, Radu Malfatti – trombone, Sean Meehan – snare & cymbals, Taku Unami – rice and dish.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
