We hope you enjoy the clips from the Kill Your Timid Notion performances. Our intrepid documentary film crew got what they could in often dark and inhospitable filming conditions. So just to let you know some of them might be a bit gloomy. Enjoy.
The Opening event was a five and a half hour marathon from The Cube. From within their shrouded performance space they conjured an incredible journey for us with the contents of their huge boxes that were shipped over from France. They even had firecrackers and arcwelding. And a bucket, in case things got a bit desperate...

William Raban - Wave Formations
It was an honour to have William grace us with his presence and present a couple of his incredible expanded cinema pieces. Although made in the seventies, they were still as fresh, vibrant and arresting as when they were conceived.

Keith Evans and Loren Chasse The Chresmologue
After a long search for the perfect bucket of sand and a suitable roll of paper The Chresmologue was born. Measured, curious and ingenious.

Joe Colley Tone Flicker Field
Most of the 50, 47 to be precise, hand-built light-sensitive oscillators made it to Dundee intact and with them Joe created this satisfying arc of a performance. Dark silence light noise dark silence.

Andrew Lampert - MAJOR CONDITIONAL
Mr. Lampert messed around with with Steve Beresford on the ivories, Mark Sanders on the drums and Okkyung Lee on cello. Beauty in chaos. Did it go wrong, did it go right? Its up to you, sweet audience member, to decide.

Kanta Horio EM No. 2 and Round Trip
One man. An electromagnet. A webcam. A lamp. Some tiny bits of metal. Kanta somehow managed to make all these elements into, amongst other things, slapstick comedy. Ah, the simple pleasure of watching two nails chasing each other across a table.

Toshi Nakamura and Billy Roisz sensitively weaved a complex web of video and audio feedback and had us mesmerised.

An audio and visual collage from two members of The Cube and one Mr. erikM. A spectacular and intuitive narrative was created and enjoyed.

Greg Pope and Norbert Moslang Light Trap
Armed with a team of handy Frenchman to help with the performance, Greg saw the fruits of his weekend spent tinkering in the backroom with his DIY abrasion apparatus burst forth from the darkness. And we were caught in the middle a roomful of rabbits in headlights.

Artificiel created a welcome refuge in the bowels of the DCA where the incandescent filaments of huge lightbulbs created a variegated sound arena. The amps for this piece were kindly supplied by CUK Audio.

Barry Weisblat Chord of the Fifth Force
Barry lugged a collection of old radios from Portugal for this installation where the electromagnetic fields were brought to life by small lamps creating a 360 degree constantly changing drone. The Persian rug was thanks to The Nomads Tent.
