An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.

60 cycle hums, jagged static cracklings, and clipped electron pinpricks, mutating them into sublime, post-techno grooves
A performance bearing witness to a struggle built upon patience and collective action from the great multi-instrumentalist and member of the AACM.
