Work for cello, percussion, contra bassoon and cherbulum commissioned for Instal in collaboration with Paragon

Take a break and/ or hang in an Open Meet Up in IRL and URL
Mirror and Phantom Engineer performing an improvised soundtrack to Benjamin Christensen’s 1922 horror film prototype, Haxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.
A celebration of risk taking and adventure from some of the boldest pioneers of the past 40 years, melding avant garde and underground forms of music and moving image to create new experiments and experiences in sight and sound.
