Live ISDN drone performance resonating between Dundee and an empty Montreal Grain Silo.

Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.

UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.

Sometimes delicate, sometimes harsh and jarring, Yagi’s koto solos are as much inspired by Nancarrow or Cage as they are traditional.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Power-electronic klutz behaviour indecipherable blasphemies, cuts, bruises and broken microphones by Kovorox Sound head-honcho Lea Cummings.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
