Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
