Live Visual Performance for Adrian Klumpes' (Triosk) album launch: "Be Still", Stone Gallery, Paddington.

"Pulsing through his deft juxtapositions of fragmentary and discordant sonorities are bright melodies and warm harmonies, notable in the driving 10-minute ebb and flow of Unrest. Be Still is too challenging to be chill-out, but its very angular expressiveness is nevertheless rewarding - like avant garde jazz or postminimalism".
