Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.

(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
