Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.

Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
