Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.

Complex ways of understanding our complex times. Maths & Poetics. Gesture & Physics. Collectivist Struggle & Desire. 5 days of performances, discussions, screenings and study sessions.
How do poetry and maths stitch together pictures of our fractured situation from its wreckage and relics, from the debris of hope and the well of residues that make us what we are?
A community of those without community, for a community to come. A schizo-scenic video-collage of the disturbing ‘normality’ of Moby Dick.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
