The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.

Formed as a means to realise William Bennett’s goal of “a sound that could bludgeon an audience into submission”
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
