An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
“The miracle of Herman Melville is this: that a hundred years ago in Moby Dick…he painted a picture of the world in which we live, which is to this day unsurpassed.” – C. L. R. James
Radu plays a trombone, Klaus creates pure sine waves: they sound on their own, or sometimes together and often with considerable space and silence.

John Butcher plays and manipulates a feeding back saxophone. Benedict Drew on electronics, broken cables and standing waves.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
