UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Minimal details and otherworldly glistening drones, rich with sustained metallic timbres that breathe with the scrapped pulse of bowed metal.

For day three of Ultra-red’s project, the investigation will take up protocols for listening to the sound of freedom composed and facilitated by Nancy Nevárez.
Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
