Disturbance

In 'Disturbance' we can hear someone pacing around a house, opening and closing windows and doors to a deafening roar. We are drawn in to the recordist's house, listen to their footsteps and are reflected ourselves in the black cube which represents the darkness of being inside a house in the depths of winter with no electricity, no heat. Every so often snippets of information are gleaned from the intermittent radio reception. 'Power cables down across the whole of the Highlands.. ferries no longer running from..rail services suspended..and now back to Muriel'.
