Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, two of the most prominent members of the Onkyo movement, place much more emphasis on sound texture than on musical structure, distilling elements of techno, noise, and electronic music into a unique hybrid.
To Rococo Rot member Robert Lippok performing for the first time in the UK with his solo project.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Do almost nothing: re-present (unaltered and arranged by chance) silent family home movies handed down to Flo, (Ken’s wife) and follow them with a “teach yourself Yiddish” cassette tape.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
Individual experience separated by physical boundaries (of space, time or ability) suggested as communities of collective experience by (perhaps voyeuristic) artists.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
