In which Storyboard P and members of Project X pick a song, freestyle to it, chat with us about what dancing means to them, then pick another song, freestyle, chat, repeat…
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.

Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.

An contradictory guitarist, he’s equally at home in slow, halting acoustic improvisation or piercing minimal examinations of electric guitar.
A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
