Two-parts Helhesten spit strangled shanties and cracked reeds from under a net of the Glasgow Improv Orchestra’s six-strings and one moustache.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Taku’s actions strip back musical performance to one of its original proposals: what is an action and how does it create a situation for spending time together, for paying attention?

Profound mathematical ideas for romantics, to help us linger in the difference we share.
Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
