A life force of ecstatic clarity capable of loquacious bursts of affirmation.
An utterly deep introspection told in aching, weeping guitar lines; melodic, simple, always minimal but somehow entirely epic.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
A simple hands on workshop with micro-radio theorist and pioneer Kogawa.
An original and beautifully simple performed installation forging a direct link between sound and image.
Each of these films addresses place, landscape or location and the personal reaction to their magical or concrete properties.
