Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
As opposed to suggesting soundtrack’s to Brakhage’s works [which are almost entirely silent] Text of Light use his works to stimulate improvisation, enveloping them into the structure of the group much like an additional musician.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
