Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.

Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.

Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.
One-shot sonic portraits of 4 houses, their inhabitants and their relationship to sound, from 2 of the most deep-thinking field-recording artists around.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
