John Tilbury
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.

Diamanda Galás
Diamanda Galás
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.

Sparklers and Table Top Set

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.

The utterly in common, or bodies of colour in the flesh

“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.

In Passing
Brandon LaBelle
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.

Every Book is Dead
Hal Duncan LAPS
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.

My Cat Is An Alien
My Cat Is An Alien
Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.

Workshop on Gestural Maths

Fernando thinks that when maths is deep, it should be simple and able to be explained by hand gestures. By embodying ideas, we’re able to more clearly think about their cultural implications.

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
