DARK MATTERS (3 Day Pass)

Three journeys into a maze where music and images conspire to make strange things happen.

At the epicentre of this 3 day micro-festival are artists who have devised, collaborated and summoned up the courage to make stunning live A/V shows that delve deep into their respective preoccupations and interests. Innovative, thrilling and not for the squeamish, these are artists unafraid to explore areas beyond the pale, deep into the DARK MATTERS.

Anthony Child AKA Surgeon improvises a brand new live performance, set against the visual computer abstractions performed by Ali Wade.

The deep diggers Dead Rat Orchestra present rare songs, forgotten laments and multi-instrumental suites alongside hand-processed 16 and 8mm footage from James Holcombe.

Mutant textural disco, industrial pummelling and evocative synths jack and glide next to terrifying and ecstatically morphed moving images as Umberto & Antoni Maiovvi hit the stage/screen.

Presented by The Cube, Howling Owl, Qu Junktions.
