Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
Writing that shows us that, even in struggle, there is light to be let in.
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.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
Final workshop exploring work, care and class. Does the ‘care industry’ summon forth its own class? Can this ‘affective class’, in their ability to care for others, militate against the carelessness of self-interest?
Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.
During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
