A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).
Reveling in the geometric, mathematical and perceptual relationship between sound and form, this programme features a landmark work of experimental film in Kubelka’s Arnulf Rainer; a complex, enduring and expressive of structuralist or flicker films.
