A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
Conceptual writer and practicing lawyer Vanessa Place performs and talks with Mark Sanders, author of the brilliant “Complicities: The Intellectual and Apartheid”
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon

Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
