A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
Dub is strange. A conversation with Edward George and Dhanveer Brar.
Morgan Fisher is a filmmaker of great wit and charm who uses the tools of experimental film to dissect the basic presuppositions of commercial cinema.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.
