A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
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.
Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
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.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
A chat with Rashad about the communist, conceptual methodology that informs his ground-breaking synthetic music—a form of speculative sonic fiction writing to produce hyperreal non-representational auditive experiences.
