Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
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.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
We wanted to ask a bunch of the best high-energy-improvisers around; can musical form really taking shape via a group energy? Can individual concentration lead to a group consciousness?

Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
Austrian guitarist who specialises in a warm digital deconstruction of guitar noise
Ex-Decaer Pinga and CKDH rodeo queens; regular ladynoise hoedown gets gatecrashed by sonic chunder-huffing remedial clatter boys.
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
