A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
A double bill of A (imageless) film of nothing but a sound recording and its transcription and a found film of news interviews about Malcolm X’s assasination, where the filmmaker decided to add nothing to it, except our attention.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A spectacular musical show which discusses the representation of a nation state, its characters and history. A learning play on myth construction and its reproduction.
A 3-day exploration – through performance, screenings and discussion – of the art and politics of wayward communities who refuse to be bound by the fictions of race and sex.
A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
