An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.
Goofily deformed, deeply thought vocal jams: like the sound of your own breath rushing through your head.
By focusing on the things that most people don’t notice or pass by uncaring – Steve Roden crafts gentle, sparse and metaphorically loaded compositions.

Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.
