This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
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.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
How does this practice, that simultaneously resists and honours the distinctions between these genres, materials and senses, determine the inhabitation of another: a convergence of aesthetic and social experimentation?
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Although Tony had visited Haino in Japan, and they played together in private, this was the first time anyone other that Haino’s cat saw them perform together.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
