The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Out holler/ howl of English pukenoise posterboys exploded by incessant insect chatter of Northern fug dweller.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
Rather than asking the state for services, what kinds of change are made possible when we prioritise people supporting each other?
Some of the most breathtaking, delicate and smoke filled guitar playing this side of Loren Connors or the quieter sides of Keiji Haino.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
Jandek’s second ever live performance, and the first to be advertised in advance.
A recently reanimated Ascension, with mighty Leeds drum hero Paul Hession bringing a dense polyrhythmic torrent into play with Jaworzyn’s reinvigorated piercing guitar.
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
