An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.

Performance of a Sudoko based graphic score giving rise to a process of self cancellation.
Ex Ganger guitarist’s solo performance for guitar and fx, featuring breathless processed guitar, complex in structure and melody.
