Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.

Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
What does it mean to resist seeking assimilation or inclusion within, or let our demands be co-opted by the very systems we seek to dismantle?
