A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Where we join Nackt Insecten’s disembodied spectral howls and heavyweight locomotive drones about SPT’s Subway.

Chris Corsano, Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in the Hamilton Mausoleum, Hamilton.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
