Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
Open-ended, paradoxical and performed investigations into: misunderstanding, language games, form saturated with sense, and consecutive matters…
Watching films and chatting with Karrabing members about those films: as they attend to the memory and practice of the ancestral present and the ancestral catastrophe that Karrabing and their more-than-human world find themselves facing.
Sean and Taku share an interest in structure, space and time. A spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical set.
A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
