A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.

Mirror and Phantom Engineer performing an improvised soundtrack to Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 horror film prototype, Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.
A parody of a (Manhattan) road movie and meditation on bifurcation, in paths traveled between the seen and the heard; a road trip played over and over from different perspectives.

A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
