Lesley Mok, Marc Alberto and Florian Herzog are VEHICLE/PASSENGER. The three artists gather around thoughtful, radical poetry that meanders through energetically improvised pieces and delicate soundscapes. They explore a strange perspective on the body, society and improvisation. The trio reveals a unified, futuristic sound that repositions the past, present and future of experimental music, free jazz, hip-hop, live electronics and poetry.
