Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
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.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL

Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Ten short intimate one-on-one conversations with Robert Softley Gale – We all want to see ourselves reflected in the world around us—in society, in art, in culture… in porn?
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
