Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.

Coffee, Croissants & Massage – a welcoming breakfast for all with massage by qualified massage therapists present to give hand & head massages.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.
