Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Life and death dramas unfold in the snowy American North, using three-screen documentary footage and a soundtrack by KYTN favourite, vocalist Daniel Menche.
Simple maths and stringent scored instructions move precise frequencies and clicks to create a dense, fluctuating environment of standing waves and physical sound.
Emotional fantasies, towers of cakes, identity troubles, collapsed distance and time and Samuel R. Delany’s rarely seen 1971 film The Orchid.
