"Bending and scraping and burning and melting and welding and scratching and bowming and woolding and mioyring and wmwmwmorrrring and woaroaroaroaroaroaroaroaroaroaoaroaring and all that good stuff...If you've ever seen Ken Russell's extraordinary film “Altered States” in which William Hurt spends so long inside a series of sensory deprivation tanks that he physically regresses into a monkey, you will be able to imagine the sorts of sounds... these are the sounds your brain starts to make when it hasn't seen, heard, smelt, tasted or felt anything at all during fifteen straight hours of floating in a watery void with only the slight reverberation from your heart for company."

rigorously arranged electro-acoustic constructions that combines surreal Nurse With Wound-style atmospherics with field recordings, tapes and electronics...extremely complex network of intricate layers and mixed sounds. A haunting composition of field recordings, tape loops, percussion, and electronics (among other things) create an extremely tense and daunting audio tapestry which leaves the listener pondering the intense meaning of the sounds chosen. Repeated themes arrive suddenly and then shift into new passages seamlessly creating a surreal environment of confusion and alienation. All of the carefully mixed and slow morphing passages are balanced by surgical editing technique...Soft washes of white noise float delicately on the surface of an infinite curious hum. A sense of unease simultaneously locks in with an aura of beauty, both worlds compromising to share a space with each other in an extended phantom tone. The long excursion into a wash of calm tone could float away forever, it’s as profound as the discovery of pure silence or the sound of a massive skyscraper collapsing to the ground

In Boleskine House and environs, on the banks of Loch Ness, the Fifth Neuro Orgone Research Department have been hard at work since 1986 researching the theory that alien communications from Sirius gave humans the technology to create civilisation as we know it 5000 years ago. The past 5 years have been spent looking at the evidence they have found that the Sirius communications also contained transmissions of music. These arcane waves have now been decoded and translated into sounds that human beings can hear. This is a rare opportunity to witness a live presentation of this. Surf rock mixed up with electronics.
