What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Goodwin’s writing emanates from the social life of poetry, from a condition of entanglement before historically racially-specific forms of representation. Another word for this emanation is breath.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.

Loïc and Marc are proposing a series of investigations into the tension between improvisation and recording and how it can be used to engage with different spaces and environments around Dundee
