Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
