The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Ken Jacobs chats to Edwin Carels: Edwin is a curator based in Ghent, responsible for some fantastic programmes of experimental film and art at the Rotterdam Film festival (amongst others).
Location: Around and about the old public library in Easterhouse; disinvested in and left to rot by the council but which was shamelessly, hastily and superficially cleaned by them in expectation of our event.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
A programme of discontinuity between narration, text and image. Including Manual Saiz’s employment of John Malkovich’s Spanish dubbing double and Peter Rose’s absurdly hilarious concrete poetry subtitling chaos.
A freestyle performed conversation for bodies and voices – with the Queen of Krump, the master of Vogue Femme Dramatics and the rising star of Vogue Women’s Performance.
