Kill Your Timid Notion
Friday 10 December 2004 - Sunday 12 December 2004

Following on from last year's event, Kill Your Timid Notion returns to DCA for a weekend of exhilirating live experimentation from artists melding innovative, outsider music and projected image.

With a programme of performances, film screenings and happenings from influential artists at the front line of sound and vision, KYTN promises to be one of the key live events of the year.

As we said last year, forget where it's at, Kill Your Timid Notion is where it will be.

KYTN performances include:

Text of Light
Explosive drummer Tim Barnes and Sonic Youth's guitarist Lee Ronaldo are joined by New York artist and turntablist Christian Marclay and guitarist Alan Licht for a live homage to Stan Brakhage, the most influential of American experimental filmmakers.

Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine
Christophe Auger and Xavier Querel are two of the key experimental improvising film-makers today. Wielding a raft of super-8 and 16mm projectors, torching film as it projects Jérôme Noetinger (one of the key electro-acoustic improvisers in Europe) slices and dices around them, in what is simply one of the most exciting and immersive live experiences in live music or film. This is their UK film debut.

Thuja and Keith Evans
San Franciscan Thuja specialise in a unique and abstract folk music, full of natural rattles, drones and the snap of twigs. Keith Evans is one third of Silt, a mobile laboratory of sorts, using projections, natural materials and lights to conduct perceptual experiments using ideas drawn from science, natural phenomena, and mysticism. This performance has been specially conceived for KYTN.

Tower Recordings
An Eastern-tinged free-floating drone-folk extravaganza, the 7 strong Tower orchestra weave their psych-folk drones around home-made psychedelic films of mystical charm into an utterly unique live experience.

Plus Film Programme:
4 screenings of synaesthetic investigations in sound and vision.
