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).

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
