Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
Los Glissandinos work with clarinet and sine tones beating and thrumming in your middle ear, all beautifully paced and serene, but with just enough steely menace broiling under the surface to keep you on edge.
Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.

Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery
