“Hidden in the hands an alluvial transcription of reach and embrace. The final flickers of the body’s expression, caress and touch.” – boychild
Electronic music, time, thought, the word, and consecutive matters
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
