Improvised inter-marital electronic adventures to the other side of nowhere. This espoused creative duo bend sounds through lo-tech instrumentation and effects to create shifting atmospheric collages in the margins betwixt day and night. A phonic guide to triple-screen footage of their own photographic investigations into the secret lives of burned-out cars.
Nitevision presents: Nite Moves , Independent Hype featuring BS5, Soul Patrol and Back in the Day. Black Pyramid showcase short films, past and present, with themes as various as Hip Hop and urban malaise, vampire feasts, and founding member Femi Kolade's story of friendship and reminiscence.
Mirror is a live performance exploring meanings of beauty. Performed at the Live Art Forum at the Arnolfini in April, the piece has been developed to incorporate recorded interview material and to further explore the interaction between live performance and projected image.
i-Contact produce and support video work that tackles issues mainstream media ignore. They are a non-profit organisation for progressive, alternative, and independent video makers and activists. Screening today: Dispatches from the front lines of global capitalism, rants in e-minor, deviant subvertising and other post 9-11 digressions.
Walrus lolloped out of the depths of Muckspreader , a local powerhouse rock combo who released a 7" and a 10" single to massive critical acclaim. They continue to rock like mothers, but in an altogether more experimental, down-tuned fashion, creating tusked monuments for the people. Bring fish. Praise them.
Sir Gideon Vein, the self-confessed 'world's greatest thespian', stalks the stage amidst a sympathetic profusion of electronic theremin, percussion, and wind instrumentation from writer/performer Chris Brook; a celebration creating its own surreal world with the spirit of of Beefheart's canon.
Invisible figurehead of the Stokes Croft electronic underground and regular spinner at Big Ting and Bleepstreet, RLF plays a live, deep, dirty lo-tech score to his own edit of curiously prescient, environmentally conscious Japanese cult classic Godzilla Vs Hedora.
With their monthly event at Level, Seen DJs, vocalists, and VJs, joins the dots between future jazz and latin, electronic soul, and broken beats. DJs Joe90 and Schlarto are joined by vocalists MC Ekimov and Cecily, and the moving images of Big Chill/Shmooz VJ The Ombudsman. A futurist club experience with mind, body and soul.
The Light Surgeons have been at the cutting edge of multi-media sound and light installations, working across a range of media such as video, 16mm film, photography, print-based design, music and spoken word. Their creative production and performance repertoire includes work with live music acts such as Zero 7, The Bays, Unkle and DJ Food. Cross-format image projection and deft turntable skills unite in pulsing narratives of multi-sensory rhythm.
