Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Like walking through the abstracted amalgamation of 30 or so storms, trays of water shaken by thunder, light bouncing off pools.
Although Tony had visited Haino in Japan, and they played together in private, this was the first time anyone other that Haino’s cat saw them perform together.

Glasgow based artist Defaalt invites the audience to collaborate fully in his performance by means of a generative graphical interface.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
