Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Saturday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Can our favourite Vegas-born poet of prophetic blackness and a South Central transmuter of social rage into beauty feel through each other?
A meditation on how all of us perform — sometimes reinforcing, sometimes subverting — the shifting categories of gender, sexuality and race.
How might two of the great musicians working within contrasting traditions of freedom collaborate? What might this produce: musically, socially, allegorically?
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
For day one of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by George E. Lewis.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
