The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
A glance at both analogue and digital processes; the clarity and precision of digital colour or the yawning, endless depth of dye and emulsion, our programme celebrates how both approaches revel in colour, saturation, hue and tone.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
A rare live performance which, although not a full installation, made use of the unique acoustic and spatial properties of the Arches to rattle the audience and help it locate its third ear.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
