Torrential, wrenching wordless wails, guttural screams and roars, a Haino solo vocal performance.
Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
