An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.

Come for the crip ingenuity; stay for the smooth feels of what it is to be each other’s everything.
Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
