In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
Joe Colley specialises in hotwired sound constructions full of ominous electronic disturbances and caustic, noxious drones. For KYTN, Joe created a situation of controlled chaos with 50 light sensitive oscillators placed in a field of candles.
A space to reflect on our own experiences with the police and explore more community and care-based ways of dealing with violence and difficulties in our lives.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Multiple images, glimpses of old films, abstract images in the midst of an electro-acoustic sound field of tape loops & analogue synthesizers
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
West Coast drone-age guitar grumbler/ consumer electronic reclaimer meets free-thinking clang/ chime/ drone bluesman of The East.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
The Experimental Improvisers Association of Japan, [EXIAS-J] are a loose collective of musicians and dilettantes who seem to represent an entire and self sufficient scene in one band.
