Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
A socio-poetic reading on wayward communities – The wayward create upheavals, incite tumult. They come and go as they please; they are fugitive; they are in open rebellion against society.
Guitar solo where inscrutable, minute electric sounds are excavated by palms that smother and strangle, that wring sound from the fretboard, from behind the bridge.
Edinburgh. Nigh-inaudible improv jams with disabled instruments from the makers of Giant Tank and Pizza Boy Delivery.
Tell Me About It creates a space for direct one-to-one conversations with people who habitually find others (filmmakers, politicians, journalists) speaking on their behalf… In partnership with Edinburgh Art Festival.
Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
