A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.

Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
