Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
A multi-media harp and spoken word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence.

Three workshops lead up to an open invitation to improvise with the festival as concert.
