Edinburgh. Beer and smoke befuddled drone/ deadly efforts by Pjorn72 kingpin.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Repetitive, mesmerizing rhythmic workouts, to pieces of stark and rigorous introspection, where notes picked and slid in isolation, scatter like mercury around the listener.

A cast of pioneering and provocative spirits who exist outside the mainstream, between borders and definitions; a series of events that each explore different aspects of music that doesn’t quite fit any given category. INSTAL 08 included the Self-Cancellation project.
