Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Three speakers play back pre-recorded sounds, Marc listens and responds: “What is played is the imperfect witness of what I listen to (or maybe better, how I listen).”
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.

Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
In Our Hands is a ten week programme of workshops facilitated by Lisa Fannen, Omikemi and Clay. The sessions explore radical approaches to health and collective care in the context of movement for liberation and social justice.
Miniscule free-noise hissy-fits and broken instrument scrape/ squeal jams from the fools what brought you Giant Tank.
Every aspect of every film is always about more than just film. Or, as Godard said: a tracking shot is a moral issue. A cross between a festival, magazine and discussion about experimental artists’ films.
