Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.

The second of two short film programmes featuring works that blur the boundaries between music and film from artists who cross and redefine those long held divisions. This programme highlights contemporary works.
