An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.

A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
Avant-wrongdoers Blood Stereo performing in Garthamlock the town spawned them.
