Performances at St Giles in the Fields, London by Jandek, Rhodri Davies & Angharad Davies, Rauhan Orkesteri.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.

A slowed down single tracking shot along a corridor as workers at the Bath Iron Works, (Maine, USA) take their lunch break.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.

Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
A dialogical meeting of Baraka’s radical poetry and Grimes’ free jazz syncopation.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
Our favourite Lancashire-born autodictact asks what’s political about the tension between the individual and the collective in free jazz.
