Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.
Durational group-mind drone and clatter: bamboo, electronics, the contents of your local ironmongers bin. A 3-hour set from this legendary Japanese improvisation group.

Offering a crip grief transformation and witness altar. A place to sit and breathe, remember our dead, wash our hands and leave offerings to and for loved ones we’ve lost – and for ourselves.
