Building on successful collaborations 'In House' this time last year, In House II repeats, doubles up, reverbs and mirrors itself through a evening of live performance from visual artists and musicians; working across sound, comedy, and video.
Patrick Dahn produces minimal, dissonant guitar playing empty, pulsing music inspired by painting and nature sounds (color fields and field recordings) and radio static.
