Sax/Drums duo of raucous, pealing noise, and cries of beguiling lyricism, whispered sax phrases float in a timbral cloud of bowed metal and rumbling toms.
A sung-through Nubian musical ballet. A darkly humorous take on sexual trauma and what magical and ancestral tools might heal it.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
Inspired by Delany’s Aye, and Gomorra. A spookily filmic world where asexual bodies live in the contradiction of their unarousable loneliness and desire for intimacy and contact.

A 2-day workshop to deconstruct our classed experiences and the ways in which we reproduce the same class system we fight against, in order to create a stronger, more egalitarian Scottish art sector.
A mixture of investigation groups, live performances, screenings and installations at DCA; the festival looked to strip back music, sound, film and moving image to their core ideas and explore them with artists and audiences.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
One of the most influential groups in improvised music, with the collective understanding that comes from listening keenly to each other for decades
Transfeminist, communist, revolutionary poetry that refuses to flinch. Nat Raha presents new work in the nine.
