Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
4 days of performances, discussions, workshops, screenings with mutant dancers, prison abolitionist poets, transfeminist revolutionaries, haunted noise, science fiction, sex worker resistance, crip erotics, radical pornography and militant fiction.
Mashed up queer fantasy of worker’s revolts, biblical demons and present-day hells, and dubbed out cyborg-electro.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
