A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
