A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing by the Stones of Stenness, instead of the Ring of Brodgar, because of bad weather.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.

Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
