Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).

Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
