Ecstatic, intensely joyous experimental club music: like “the sound of our water ceremonies…40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora and the call of the morning star Venus”.
Although Tony had visited Haino in Japan, and they played together in private, this was the first time anyone other that Haino’s cat saw them perform together.

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.

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