The weeks previous TLRS daily radio shows, after-hours conversations, radio booths and special guests reassembled as a live electroacoustic performance.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
There exist places in our towns and cities that are created not by design, but by circumstance. Shadowed Spaces was a tour of overlooked, bypassed and unconsidered nooks and crannies with 3 musicians.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.

Work that focuses in on the static hiss and background noise of recording and pushes it to the fore.
Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
