Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.
A voice that can vault from an elegantly whispered insinuation to asphyxiated and murderous barks or squalls in a heartbeat.
