Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
A beautifully crisp, slowly evolving duo for cello and projected images. Abstract but still figurative; change only noticeable after the fact.
