Sachiko’s very simple, pure sine tones and structures. Otomo on double pianos. Filament’s music isn’t composed and it isn’t improvised: it’s a hybrid of the two.
Summing up of the investigations with a reflection on what has been done that week and what could be done the next.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.

A three-day celebration surveying all manner of diverse musical activities, which at their core share a basic kinship: one of exploration and the discovery of musical expresssion.

Tiny fragments of sound recombined and woven into spare and precise, violent yet beautiful pieces
