An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.

Koji Asano, Japanese composer and sound-artist performing slow groaning burbling tones, moaning echoes and drones.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.

A programme that looks at how sound and image can be treated as variants in a collection of ordered objects; at how to create meaning from the similar, and to notice difference.
