Ken presents his Nervous Magic Lantern, wherein film itself is forsaken for an investigation of hypnotic and trancelike crystaline forms. Eric La Casa works with recordings of everyday occurrences: the background hum of place.

Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
