Dworkin asks: What would a non-expressive poetry look like? A poetry of intellect rather than emotion?
Solo by Jean-Philippe Gross, a French electro-acoustic improviser, working with mixing board, cheap mics, small speakers and an analog synth, built around a honed interest in feedback.
Three documentary films exploring diverse realities of sex workers around the world followed by a closing ceremony of the festival.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.
Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert. The last four hours of the Sunday 14 at Instal 10 were devoted to presentations devised during the three workshops. The material conditions (time, space, facilities…) were the instruments.
