Quartet improvisation by Klaus Filip – laptop, Radu Malfatti – trombone, Sean Meehan – snare & cymbals, Taku Unami – rice and dish.
A double bill of Morgan Fisher films that ask what can be achieved by a simple structural method of commenting on scraps of 35mm film, re-shot on 16mm film and what happens to meaning (if anything) when ‘insert shots’ are relieved of their original duty of providing crucial plot development for a variety of other movies?

A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
