A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
