A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
We commissioned Radu Malfatti to write a new piece for the 21-piece string section of the Northern Sinfonia: Music striving to discover the exact point at which sound resonates the clearest amidst long drawn out silences.

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
Kenneth Goldsmith reads extracts of his conceptual poetry and Achim Wollscheid manipulates mobile phone signals.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
