A performance for dry ice and four specially constructed steel tables, each one heated by a single candle until searingly hot.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.
As opposed to suggesting soundtrack’s to Brakhage’s works [which are almost entirely silent] Text of Light use his works to stimulate improvisation, enveloping them into the structure of the group much like an additional musician.
