Harrowing but musical confrontations with the very real, physical and aural trauma of a woman screaming.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Discussion with David Keenan: an author, critic and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is best known for the reviews and features he has contributed to The Wire.

Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.
