A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.

This session focuses in on the defiant mutual aid practices of early and DIY feminist movements in the UK, that attempted to shift and radicalise care and kinship away from the domain of the nuclear family.
Beyond time, colorlines, ability, and sexuality, a movement exploration into what it means to see and be seen, how hearing contrast with what is actually being heard.
