As you enter the space experience Ollie Miller's filmic montage memento of the 2016 BackStage gig. This remix reversal sees backstage music re-music-ed, mashed up and reconstituted. Sounds, colours, faces, gestures and grooves rolled about and dipped in primordial musicovisual soup. Who will you see?
