Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.

No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
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).
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
