Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift undertake two intensive writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and Hospitalfield in Arbroath.

Talk charting the radical history of experimental music in Japan + the lowdown into the careers of many of the artists appearing at MLFC.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
