Glasgow based contemporary music group Paragon Ensemble performing an improvisation with Pete Dowling, Nick Fells, Robert Irvine and others.
Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Politicised fan-fiction chronicling working class gay urban space and fantasy.
A collaborative social justice project that uses art, activism and awareness to combat the systemic oppression facing young, trans, queer & gender nonconforming people of colour.
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.

Can we find ideas of queer anarchism, failure and low theory in popular culture?
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
