The Magick Trousers Documentary
I made this short documentary about our sonic adventures with Allan Boyd and Mar Bucknell among others. We were trying to expand the boundaries of performance in some ways, going against the flow so to speak. It was a fun, creative time and I learnt a lot about making things up on the spot, and well, fucking shit up.
