Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
A performance by Storyboard P – one of the greatest Afrofuturist dancers on the planet.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Location: between: the abandoned site of Parker House (ex-council office building) that became a student accommodation regeneration project, off the Dudhope roundabout; Bell Street Car Park entrance ramp and; the awkward (and otherwise used/ used otherwise) space left over between the back of Tesco’s and DW Sports on the Murraygate.
Nikos played every note that it’s possible to play on the cello, all played back as a one hour drone, while the cello was turned to powder and bottled.
A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Taking The Futurist Cinema’ manifesto and turning it into software to track ‘aluminium’ online, tracing relationships companies with interests in aluminum had to each other and other agencies.
An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Dual projections of pulsating shards of film, treated in crystallized salts and dyes merge with the whirring of projectors, distilled into particles of sound.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
