A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.

“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 first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.
