Line Vocabulary
Line
Vocabulary, is a new book of poems and images by Arild
Vange and Per Formo translated from Norwegian by Neil Davidson.
This new book plays with a series of tactile,
erotic encounters between figures, submarines, economics, plants and movements.
It frames his writing in a tightly constrained format where tiny fragments
pattern two broad forms: firstly, of expansion and contraction through nine
letters of the alphabet in relation to vertical forms, standing figures; and
secondly through a series of almost pastoral, horizon based accumulations of
images. The poems were written in response to Per Formo’s digital drawings and
vice versa; the constraints employed in the construction of the images being
echoed in the constraints used in the writing process: syllables, letters,
number of lines etc.

8pm Tuesday 22nd December The Old Hairdressers Renfield Lane £5
THE FINAL FIVE is a vivid science fiction mess of circuitry linking conceptual processes and human flesh. Free associating between the 18th century’s disasters of enlightenment and the free jazz present, our music bypasses romanticism completely. It is anti psychological, anti realist, foregrounds an erotics of repetition and anticipates aural perceptions that we don't know about yet, of things underneath, of codes hidden. Again.
GEORGE BURT is part of a UK jazz continuum that drifts free of the genre as often as it anchors it: Soft Machine, King Crimson, June Tabor (George makes this inclusion make sense); these are consonances, co-ordinates. All those projects with Lol Coxhill, Keith Tippett, Maggie Nicols, Ken Hayder and Harry Becket stem from this; a humane modernity that’s distrustful of nostalgia but anchored in a Strayhorn-like pathos of gesture. Solo guitar music from Falkirk.
SUE MCKENZIE & RICK BAMFORD - Deadpan saxophone rigour with tantric drum archery.
