This also explains the image chosen for this event, a scan rather than a photo and therefore a collated set of images featuring a cake and cutlery on a sideboard, a more febrile exploration. The artists themselves utilise a range of approaches to their works from sampling and dissection of found sound to live instrumentation and generation. The Bath House itself also offers saunas and plunge tanks, an impressive selection of lovingly prepared food and drinks and a warm and welcoming atmosphere as a community led space, so alongside joining us for the event you can satisfy your whole being in the spaces on offer. We look forward to sharing yet another voyage with you all X
