A trance inducing, flickering investigation of structural and minimalist droning from one of the key thinkers in sound and image over the last 50 years
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
A programme looking at landscape, filmic or architectural spaces and at how the fixed stare of a camera frame only captures so much reality; here we focus on how filmmakers structure our relationship with that reality and at how they relate it to or interpret it through sound.

A kind of an informal overview of INSTAL.
Sparse and miniature free thought workouts involving guitar, vocals and tuba.
