Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Wordless, reverb drenched voice, ghosted electronics, seething and ferocious electronic damage and Patty Waters style vocal mania.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.
