Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.

Paper Piece: Secrets is a performance for and with the whole audience, using paper, text, secrets, being in the crowd
Kylie Minoise Vs Nackt Insecten feedback/ vocal physical threat ‘vs’ ecstatic electronic cloudbursts
Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
