Daryl Worthington , May 5th, 2021 09:22 From drip powered cave orchestras to raw sax improvisations and stunning electronics, Daryl Worthington finds hope and strangeness on cassettes in May Eilien aka Ellen Virman Back in 1992 Bruce Sterling described cyberspace as the place where a phone conversation seems to happen – not in the devices themselves but some imagined zone in between.
