Duo performance by two great French musique concrète improvisers using feedback, contact mics, tape, an old Revox tape machine, a vintage synth…

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Glasgow. Power electronic klutz behaviour by Kovorox sound head-honcho. Bruised bodies and broken microphones.
A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.

Simon Morris is joined by Nick Thurston as they attempt to read aloud whilst peddling on exercise bikes.
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
