A black hole of dense heaviosity, full of slow motion riffage, tectonic pummel and massive planet destroying rock.
Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Patented 60 cycle hums, static pops, and terse electron pinpricks mutated into perfect, post-techno grooves and synaesthesic video
N30 is a massive, dynamic, immersive multi-channel presentation of front-line field recordings from the protest against the WTO in Seattle
An event exploring anarchic and communal situations of musical creation with MV, EE and The Cherry Blossoms.

A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
