A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
Temporary Outpost for an Auditory Gesture is a kind of performed installation that explores how sonic phenomena (like feedback, vibration, resonance, echo, rhythm) condition our experience.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.

This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
