Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
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.
A changing pool of people (40 or so at a time – artists, audiences, etc) talk for 90 minutes in a simultaneous series of open-ended round-table discussions, structured like speed dating, and mixed live as both a concert and for radio broadcast.
In rethinking the body, the law, the state, gender, race, violence, care and empathy, how we might give humanness a different future?
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
African American history, avant-garde jazz riffs and activism intertwine in experimental verse of extraordinary and affecting beauty that has to be heard.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Disused railway turning circle at east end of Union Terrace Gardens, a historically public space at the centre of a regeneration land-grab for the private gain of a local petro-chemical magnate.
The struggle for sex workers’ rights and how we can understand it in the continuum of care work and other forms of invisibilised and precarious work.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
