Andrew Chalk & Christoph Heemann return with their diaphanous, impressionistic drone duo; their slowly evolving and enthralling works flutter and quiver with elegantly restrained, miniature sound events.

Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.

A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
