The second iteration of the first concept of Late Works, where a group of musicians spontaneously improvised music in response to two painted folding dressing screens.
The musicians are asked to respond for a total of 30 minutes to each screen, with them being rotated midway. The screen itself stands in front of both the audience and the musicians, with everyone - including the musicians - experiencing it simultaneously, and for the first time.
The instrument lineup was drums (Joe Taylor), electric guitars (Billy Leach & Tara Cunningham), double bass (Joe Maclaren), electric piano (Jesse Doniach Hughes), trombone (Wilf Diamond) & viola (Kristjan Kannukene).
Musicians selected by Billy Leach • Filmed & edited by Mathias Karl Gontard • Additional footage by Ethan Reeves • Sound by Antek Rutczyński • Concept, curation & screens built by Joseph Bradley Hill
