festival 2023
Violin bows fly through the space between the noise and the silence. In the trees, a counter-sound unfolds. Behind the barn, the mist dances, stirs up beats and spreads its wings over the fields. Between shimmering instruments and patches of light, between hubbub, lull and frenzy, a swing moves back and forth, a person on it, in time with the wind.
Thank you to everyone who made Detect 2023 so special.
