A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
In 2008 we toured our Kill Your Timid Notion festival of experimental sound and image to London, Bristol and Glasgow, bringing audiences a taste of the previous 5 festival editions.
