Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps

Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
