Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.

A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
(Cyber)feminist, non-essentialist transgender and queer daily radio shows using the formula of morning radio as an arch way of thinking about the scripted behaviour and controlled empathy of systematic care.
