Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
The second in a series of workshops for workers and non-workers who care. What does the sharing of vulnerability entail? Can such a sharing inform progressive social relations?
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.

An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
“Hidden in the hands an alluvial transcription of reach and embrace. The final flickers of the body’s expression, caress and touch.” – boychild
