Mattin
Taking a scalpel to the relationship between performer and audience: cutting something out to see what’s left, a drastic subtraction and shift of emphasis.
Fennesz
Fennesz
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
Keiji Haino
Keiji Haino
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Rhodri Davies & Terry Day
Rhodri Davies Terry Day
Terry is one of the most entertaining and unpredictable musicians in the London free improvising music scene. Rhodri Davies extends his instrument under a battery of techniques creating sound colours and textures quite alien to the harp.

A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
Overheard (Performance Part 2)
Resonance Radio Orchestra
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.
