Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?

Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
