A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
Deliberately blurred drones, absent of definite structure or rhythm, framed in silence and devoid of any distraction from the pure matter of sound.
