A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Haunted by the archive of the New Cross Fire, Jay Bernard presents a film and poetry reading that undertakes a queer exploration of black British history, reconstructed from archives and apparent debris.

UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.

“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
A collaboration bringing together artists with a shared gravitational heft to their work; an intense and concentrated accumulation of detail and power.
