Don't let the Rail Strike spoil your mission to Dundee for the Kill Your
Notion festival.
On Friday 10th October we've organised two buses to come to DCA from both
Edinburgh and Glasgow - and cause we are nice, it'll be FREE!
Numbers are limited, so it's first come, first served. Those that get on the
bus first get a seat.
EDINBURGH - the bus (Browns) will leave from outside the Fruitmarket Gallery
EH1 1DF at 17:30 pronto and drop you off at DCA.
The bus will return to Edinburgh, Fruitmarket at the end of the
performances, around 23:15.
GLASGOW - the bus (Silver Choice) will leave from outside the CCA, 350
Sauchiehall Street, G2 3JD at 17:30 pronto and drop you off at DCA.
The bus will return to Glasgow, CCA at the end of the performances, around
23:15.
If you are coming up to the festival on Friday evening, trains should be
back to normal from 12 Noon onwards.
If you don't manage to get on the FREE bus there is a Waverley train that
leaves at 18:10 that will get you in to Dundee at 19:30. The last train back
to Edinburgh is at 22:32.
If you miss the FREE bus in Glasgow there is a Glasgow Queen Street train
that leaves at 17:45 that will get you into Dundee at 19:50. The last train
back to Glasgow that night is at 21:52.
You can and should check all this info online.

FESTIVAL 10-12 OCT
DUNDEE CONTEMPORARY ARTS
KYTN rides again at DCA. That's DUNDEE Contemporary Arts. Things happen outside the central belt in Scotland. I know. That's not that far from where you live. You should come.
And I can safely say that it is THE BEST experimental music-image/ film-sound festival exploring the many possible relationships between what you see and what you hear, (involving blindfolds, indoor rain, empty samplers drawing with charcoal, set theory, lettrists and meteorological balloons, filmic riddles, the Tay bridge...) in Dundee this year.
Absolutely THE BEST. No; I won't hear another word.

LONDON, BRISTOL AND A.N.OTHER TBC
A step across the border between sound & vision. KYTN is one of Europe's leading festivals of sound and image. It's all about exploring the many different ways we navigate the borders, disparities and similarities between what we hear and what we see. It involves some of the great experimental artists, musicians and filmmakers of our time, and some of the not too distant future also. It features film developed as its projected, visual harmonics, jerry rigged 16mm projectors, movement without motion, and much more besides...
Including performances by Ken Jacobs, La Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine, Kjell Bjørgeengen, Keith Rowe and Philipp Waschmann, Andrew Lampert, Bruce McClure, Paul Sharits and Greg Pope.
Film screenings will include films by Hollis Frampton, Ben Rivers, Walter Ruttman, Guy Sherwin, John Smith, Peter Rose, Pip Chodorov, Paul Sharits.
