A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Michael Colligan pressing white hot metal into dry ice, causing the metal to sing and scream.
Originally billed as a duo of Ingar Zach and Derek Bailey, John Butcher stood in for Bailey at the last minute.
