Live Visual Performance for Adrian Klumpes' (Triosk) album
launch: "Be Still", Stone Gallery, Paddington.
"Pulsing through his deft juxtapositions of fragmentary
and discordant sonorities are bright melodies and warm harmonies, notable
in the driving 10-minute ebb and flow of Unrest. Be Still is too challenging
to be chill-out, but its very angular expressiveness is nevertheless
rewarding - like avant garde jazz or postminimalism".
