A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
