RFCL/ The Heart of the Music Box

experimental drone, noise loops, noise makers, unorthodox instruments. This is great. Dubby experimental atmosphere, where acoustic noise, haunting vocalizations and heavy bass come together. Radio Free Clear Light showcased their Music Box performance art piece at SoMArts in SF. Their goal was to perform an improvised invocation utilizing all the elements that entered the space, and transformed a portion of the gallery into a living music box. pretty pretty cool.
