In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
What we said at the time:
KYTN is a festival of sound and image, exploring as many different ways in which artists, filmmakers and musicians can investigate the border between what you hear and what you see. In particular, it looks at the margins, at the leading edge of creativity where people test out the boundaries of what’s been done before: after all, doesn’t the notion of a boundary presuppose something beyond it?
KYTN presents films screenings and performances of work that goes beyond the simple digital translation of sound and image (like your iTunes Visualizer) and propose a sensory and direct, experiential and analogue relationship in which sensory differences are explored, where blank film is polished to create both light and sound as it’s projected, where a guitar can create TV flicker images.
