A slowed down single tracking shot along a corridor as workers at the Bath Iron Works, (Maine, USA) take their lunch break.
A 100 strong Feral Choir of people who’ve never improvised with their voices before, conducted by composer Phil Minton.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
“Beginning where you and me ends, where we don’t so much come but are already here.” Join James and Nisha to talk about breath, erotics and flesh, about our social, poetic cosubstantiality.
Brother and sister stumble over the early morning horizon in a spectral haze of emotionally devastating lunar vocals and oblique, lithium-soaked folk.

A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
