Guy Sherwin gives a kind of annotated, chat through his optical sound films
Daniel Carter & Sabir Mateen’s trio with percussionist Andrew Barker; incessantly driving forward through sweat-drenched bursts of pure ecstatic freedom.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
