Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
Long Stringed Instrument performance involving up to 100 wires strung in tension over a 40m arch.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.

An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
Jacobs’ pulsing and abstract 3D Nervous Magic Lantern performance grounded by Eric La Casa’s manipulated recordings of everyday locations.
