An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.

Inspired by the supernatural horror of H. P. Lovecraft, black metal and a sense of worry as to what constitutes an object, or a world.

With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Includes: street portraits of kids in 1930’s Dakota, a mysterious foggy pilgrimage, a swarm of time-lapsed consumers, a stereoscopic analysis of mill life, up close and personal in a Lighting Bolt mosh pit.
