Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
