Italian duo of brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio utilising an array of acoustic and electric guitars, various toy-instruments and toy-microphones.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Light Music is a dizzying celebration of the pivotal nature of sound in film; a direct and powerful transcription of film as sound.
TEST is a collective creative improvising quartet based out of the NYC Underground (figuratively and literally). Their street-hardened, spatial Jazz is riotous and intense: is also makes us think about collective organization, and different ideas of responsibility and liberty.
Munehiro Narita’s Kyoaku No Intention (Worst Intentions) fired out some of the most compelling no-wave improvised rock of the 80s.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
