We commissioned Radu Malfatti to write a new piece for the 21-piece string section of the Northern Sinfonia: Music striving to discover the exact point at which sound resonates the clearest amidst long drawn out silences.
 
Poetry of raw fearless truth and the realest crip insight fully embedded in absolute lyrical lounge.

An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…
 
Trio vocal performance of a score by Achim Wollscheid with Aileen Campbell, Junko and Dylan Nyoukis.
