How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
Quartet improvisation by Klaus Filip – laptop, Radu Malfatti – trombone, Sean Meehan – snare & cymbals, Taku Unami – rice and dish.
Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
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.
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.
