AMM have undoubtedly been among the most important contributors to the UK free improv scene for nearly 40 years and we are extremely proud to be able to be working with such distinguished musicians who still rarely play live in the UK.

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
Bruno’s liberated improvisational approach stretches beyond the lyrical, tough as nails rhythmic bursts and expressive, swinging attack of his drumming.

The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
