John T. Gast Presents Petrols.
Flutes + FX form the core of a more improvisational framework.
Drawing on Gast’s Gossiwor material, with Aase Nielsen, Petrols moves into looser, more exploratory territory, balancing intimacy with sonic weight.
Recently performed at Berlin Atonal, the work continues to develop, responding to new contexts and times.
