60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).

Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
