Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

The worlds leading radio art station brings you: a performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test.
What would a world and an ethics look like free from the destructive consequences of the Western mind?

The first performative part in a game of chance and endurance as actor Tam Dean Burn constantly broadcasts for 24hrs.
Acoustic turntable, engines, trumpet and accordion joined by Bassist Magarida Garcia: build long-form quietly detailed pieces that clatter and rumble, that expand and contract with the tension and release of deeply held breath.
A trio of Tamio’s screaming and immovable slabs of sound; Mico’s dance/ performance/ piano; Fritz’s absurd, flailing percussion/ voice.
