Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.

Includes: a polish counting lesson, around NYC with D A Pennebaker, a portrait of a tower block, a man with a spade, at home with KYTN regular Guy Sherwin, a cinematic Blair Witchish cut-up and a song for some swings.
