mild climate is excited to announce What Was When, a collaborative series of improvisations by McKay House and Utam Moses.
“Again, and,”
“Maybe again, like this,”
“Again,”
“There’s something you missed,”
“Remaining, like this,”
Collected here are movements and sounds of a slight uncanny nature working to reinvestigate and enliven empty and strange playgrounds, places out of time. Collected here are subtle and gross relics.
