Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Captures the creak and rustle of the forest, with an exhilarating tension let loose in unconfined maniacal and bare-knuckle group thinking.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Dead Labour Process drool-tape farmer, squeaking/creaking Usurper brother and Peeesseye’s yodelling traps-man hold a real OUT splutter party.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
