Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
In this session we’ll explore the use of herbs to support psycho-emotional health*, especially focusing on considering ‘nervines’; herbs that support rest, relaxation, that soothe, ground, vitalise and nourish. We’ll also be looking at personal constitutions and plant energetics. And we’ll briefly touch on the use of entheogens (psychoactive substances such as magic mushrooms) as medicine.
Underlying radical transfeminism, as an urgent critique of binary essentialism and fixed identities, is the call for a new kind of thinking that can move between and integrate the truths of all lives in their transformations.
A speculative narrative film informed by poetry and theories of quantum entanglement across diasporic distance. An intimate exploration of grief and resistance in shifting landscapes of loss, from the streets to the bed.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
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.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
