A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A performance for projectionist, musicians and audience, which plays with references to Oscar Levant and Gershwin: apparently a series of small doses of chaos.
For day four of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by Fred Moten.
Paul Sharits’ Shutter Interface is a multi screen installation born of an intent to reveal the material substance of cinema in its purest form: spatially.

Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Leading language/ action/ sound poet performed his groundbreaking concrete poem, a dizzying mandala of text, symbols and rubber stamps; a kind of book as reading machine.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
