Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.

Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an old underground reservoir in Fife.
