For musical chameleon Richard Youngs both his creative and family life are focused in the room that many of us consider the centre piece of our lives.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.
Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.

A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A kind of audience activating, structured film guessing game in the manipulation of time, sound and image. “At 11:15, weiners. At 21:05, pornography. At 23:30, a duet. Watch the Clock.”
Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.
Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
