Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
Argument is a provocative, multi-layered film essay, a trenchant analysis of the media and remains a critically relevant and critically inflammatory tract.
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Black Boned Angel’s is a rock sound, stripped of all extraneous detail right down to its core, stretched out and nailed to the ceiling.
A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.
Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves. Expect fire and a little bit of smoke. Concluding with a D/deaf centered social space with conversational interpreters available for those who do not speak ASL.
