A few words from myself...
SomnambulisT
Surrealities, wandering through near distant paths. How far is here? A trace of infinity conceals and unfolds.
In The Midst
Organism. Pulsations and flow approaching and passing our point of stasis. The intangible? A silence of minimal signs. The simple, magnified in the space of time.
Murmur
Eros. Slow oceans, imperceptibly moving on a dark quiet night, expand and contract.
A few words from elliott sharp...
Spinning dazzling arcs from mere wisps of sound and gesture, Laura Andel brings us a music composed not just of notes but of the life around her, filtered through her ears and eyes and mixed with her prodigious soul. Ritual drama plays out with a cast of archetypal characters - sometimes we are amazed, sometimes shocked, sometimes amused. The end result is a transformation -we may not know the answers but we are left with a new set of mysterious and wonderful questions.
