Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
An audio and video investigation of gender cults, Catholicism, hauntings and nuns’ use of audio devices…

Glasgow based contemporary music group Paragon Ensemble performing an improvisation with Pete Dowling, Nick Fells, Robert Irvine and others.
