An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Solo performance on bass clarinet, jaw harp & voice by Arrington De Dionyso.

Juliana’s performances chart the dissonant space and discrepancy between the presumed fixed norms of social life and the fluid lived experience those norms don’t allow for.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
