Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
No Wave, damaged garage jams and crazed instant vocal shrieks.
