UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
A Performance exploring the nature of acousmatic listening; sound removed from visual context and understood for it’s own properties.

An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
