A new interpretation of Kosugi’s Catch-Wave, producing a cloud of fluctuating, hypnotic drones, in front of a backdrop of projected waves.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.

Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.
