A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Performances at CCA Glasgow by Keiji Haino, My Cat Is An Alien, Taurpis Tula, Jandek with Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson.

Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
