A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
A simple, gracefully bold set-up to allow Loïc to trace connections: of comments upon comments upon comments, of sounds next to sounds next to sounds.
French improviser, composer, writer & musical thinker of dry humour and elegant clarity. Sly conjurer of music from the unconsidered processes of music making.

This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.

In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
