Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Inhabiting a different kind of energy, Ueinzz’s open rehearsals reveal a glimpse into their ongoing daily theatrical modes of caring – multiplying the ways in which their plays are meant to be felt, rather than understood.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
Could they be one of the most ferocious live noise acts around, or a necessary and ludicrous parody of ferocious noise acts? Could they be both?
A prison abolitionist punk video-poetry-music mash up about our fucked-up dystopian society, RoboCop, kids toys and criminality.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
‘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 dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
The final iteration of Arika’s INSTAL festivals, the 2010 edition was an experimental festival of experimental music – 3 days of events at the Tramway that explored un-average ideas about sound and music.
