Three iconic figures from the Japanese underground assembled as a trio to stand in for the advertised duo of Junko and Jerome Noetinger who was unable to attend the festival due to illness.
What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Dundee. Progressive rhythmical guitar squall vs. post-highland discorporate dusk-jockey.

A dense, hard, immersive, chaotic spatial performance in sound: a momentary gap in consciousness, free of order or decision.
