Complexly interacting colossal drones by the creator of some of the most legendary yet least heard music of the 70’s.

During Episode 9 we made this clip with Storyboard P at Kinning Park Complex. Video by Ash Reid.

A live installation of the ‘Film Ist’: projected on 4 huge screens and an improvised soundtrack from 4 figureheads of the Austrian experimental music scene.
