Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
The Cube is a 6 hour performed installation in which sound and image are treated as independent but equal, where musicians and filmmakers sit alongside each other, improvise to and feed off both projected image and amplified and acoustic sound.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
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.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Quintessentially British, The Bohman Brothers’ music is a home-made and DIY conflux of some of the most virulent strains of experimental music.
