This piece combines analogue synthesizers, contemporary frame drumming from Italy and Ireland with womens voices from the Druphad tradition of North India and Karelian joiking from Finland. The piece explores the conflict between the drive of unrelenting progress and novelty with the broader rhythms of human experience and the natural world. The electronics create a pulse for tamburello, bodhrán, udu, daf and voices to move against pulling and stretching time towards a resolution that never quite comes .
