Equal parts spectacle, installation and performance, his set for us is a specially developed work, ‘turning’, which features an orchestra of multiple turntables, 4 projections and a collection of old, and, quite probably, misfiring analogue kit.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
