Pitching Fahey inspired, eastern-infused folk vibrations, sad elliptical drones and oracle chants into one kaleidoscopic sound.
Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
Trans-temporal drag, sexuality and the re-staging of illegible moments in history.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
