A double bill. A simple first person, Dundee-specific tracking shot that approaches the cinema/ screen/ space the film will eventually be shown in and in Brazilian opera house, a fixed camera gazes at a local audience from the stage: a choir, hidden in the orchestra pit, sings and gradually fades to silence.
Gravitational Feel is an engine for intensifying the differentiation of our entanglement, which you continually reprogramme in the mutual rub, shift and lap of its sonic, wooden, steel, textile and human material.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
