ACCESS: SOUND FILE A day-long salon accompanying KYTN focusing on sound art.

Out of a dark haze, shafts of lights are picked out from the surface of film. Out of the black silence, noise, audible scratches bloom into a bright drone of broken and cracked objects.

An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
