Three short performances involving social exchange (jumpers, hats, glasses…) and singing (ballads)
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Free Jazz group comprising Matt Lavelle, Matt Heyner (TEST, No-Neck Blues Band) and Ryan Sawyer (Tall Firs).
A performance of Ueinzz’s new play. Each Ueinzz performance is a process of reinvention, between exhaustion and a fleeting vision: singular, collective, anonymous, plural, suspensive, intensive, unworking life.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
A performative survey of listening, as we managed to find it being used as a tool in different practices, disciplines and communities in North America (music, poetry, film, philosophy, activism…).
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
