A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.

With Taku we’ll carry out some simple proposals for doing almost nothing, for re-thinking sound with whatever comes to hand.
Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
We asked Christoph to come and give a sort of informal talk, raising some of his ideas about sound and image, and playing/ showing a few examples.

A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
