A saxophone. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. An incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.

Percussion used to explore the social construction of space
Rare UK performance by legendary Japanese post punk group during their 4 drummers + synth / vocals phase.
