AVVA sees the internal feedback of Toshi’s no-input mixing desk is fed to Billy, and transformed into bright and variegated patters, striations and blooming colour, before being fed back to Toshi and manipulated on route to the PA.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift undertake two intensive writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and Hospitalfield in Arbroath.
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
