Two figureheads of the minimalist electronica pulse, Ikeda and Nicolai have been responsible for some of the most innovative and ground-breaking music of the last decade, redefining experimental electronica.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
