Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.
Transfeminist and revolutionary poetry, voice and timbral abstraction: a sounding and spatialising of reparative sonic and somatic practices that can speak back to violent histories of expropriation and ecocide.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.

Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
