Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces

Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
