Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
Sound and image slipping out of synch and into discord, the programme includes (in London at least) a very special version of Hollis Frampton’s masterful (nostalgia) with a live narration by Michael Snow.
Blissed-out sun-dappled drone ragas of the highest order, with a metal-tinged signature sound of plucked and bowed strings.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
A queer black operatic requiem for piano and voice that asks us to stay in the hold of the slave ship, that tries to understand the connection from the slave ship to the prison.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
