Veterans of the psych-infused UK free noise scene, the Vibracathedral Orchestra is a hypnotic ur-drone group hailing from Leeds.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.

Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
The reknowned artist Kjell Bjørgeengen works collaboratively with innovative musicians to make complex installations. Channels of flickering light are produced in response to and from sound.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
