A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.
Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.
Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
Criminal Queers visualises a radical trans/queer struggle against the prison industrial complex, working to abolish the multiple ways our hearts, genders, and desires are confined.
A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
