Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a large multi chambered industrial ice house.
4 days of workshops, discussions and artists presentations exploring the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world.

Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.
Real-time video feedback loops submerged in laminal sheets of sound soaked in gauzy timbral detail and multi-valenced, buzzing overtones.
