In short:
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
In detail:
A sort of loose investigation into material detail and the sonic and visual qualities of everyday objects and situations, this programme includes a nice piece of baritone paper, some tin foil, the ominous but quite delicate potential of plastic bags, a study in repetition and difference created by a dripping tap, incinerated microphones and some frantic rubber band action. I’ll pay more attention to my kitchen from now on.
