Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
This programme is a celebration of Charlemagne Palestine; passionate, extravagant, visceral. Including two sections from Ritual dans le Vide, an extension of his ‘running camera’ works of the 70’s and Pip Chodorov’s vibrant workout of a live version of Strumming Music.
Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
A fulcrum to the Japanese noise scene, JOJO Hiroshige has been responsible for much of the explosion of free music coming from Japan in the last 30 years.
