A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
The Scottish based Paragon Ensemble has commissioned David Fennessy to compose music for Instal, which will be performed during the evening.
