Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
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.
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?
