A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
This performance brings together film, text and speech and temporarily constructs a filmic space to think through questions of resistance, and the choice and consequence of action vs. inaction: what does it mean to choose to not take part?
Music is full of refracted brass and wind tones, distorted tape loops, dead silent air and the occasional piercing shard of sound.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden

A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
By focusing on the things that most people don’t notice or pass by uncaring – Steve Roden crafts gentle, sparse and metaphorically loaded compositions.
