Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.

Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
