In a mesmerizing quadrophonic live performance, a sonic journey unfolds through the fusion of voice, synthesizer, and an array of different sound objects. These diverse sources of sound seamlessly intertwine, gradually morphing and evolving, creating an entirely new sonic landscape. It is an immersive journey where familiar sounds morph into the unknown.
