A public walk from George Square to the Barras market bringing contributions from researchers, activists and artists in a form of live critical praxis
With a signature spartan sound and long term preoccupation in structural tactics (subtle shifts in density, drawn out stasis) Polwechsel blur the boundaries between individual instruments.
