Amid the blur of erotics, the jangle of poetics, and the fetishizing of sickness and disability, the heat of Panteha’s performance and sculpture freezes all.
A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A riot of 60’s psychedelia, magick, ritual and tight black leather, this programme highlights underground innovators who use and subvert pop music for their own experimental ends; and be warned, in Anger, there’s real darkness.
A conversation between Philip and Moten: how do we read NourbeSe’s anti-narrative poetic lament in Glasgow today, given the city’s role in the history of slavery?
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
Post consideration and post rationalisation… How do we think about experimental music and film after the performance?
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
