Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
A confrontational and somehow shamanic stance; introspective silences shattered by savage jabs at the strings, whirlwind strums dying into spartan chords
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
Vanessa Place talks at The Friday Event series at the Glasgow School of Art about her practice as a writer.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
