Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.

Adamantly analogue, inspiring and frequently chaotic in performance, Metamkine draw no distinction between image and sound; during their intuitively improvised performances music and images are created simultaneously and equitably.
