What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.

Expansive and considered, inclusive and deeply human minimalism: Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Manfred Werder.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.

A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.
