A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.

Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
Each film in this programme celebrates process; the decay of emulsion, the properties of dust and dirt, the manipulation of time. Post the dawn of the digital age, we reflect on our love of the film form, celluloid as an object, a medium and a physical entity.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.
Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
An evening of live performances, readings & saucy rococo cakes celebrating the launch of Truth and Lies – An Anthology of Writing and Art by Sex Workers.
A sound of buzzing and flickering metallic drones, glottal stops and guttural growls, and also an explosiveness and purity of sound that reminds you as much of Bill Dixon as anyone else.
Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
