‘Broken. Spoken. Words. And Sound. Forwards. Backwards. Songs. Claire Robertson & Martin Christie rip spoken word into pieces and rebuild it as a drifting sonic architecture. Claire’s performance art presence collides with Martin’s live sound-carving, turning poetry into fractured echoes and warped melody. More than a gig - it’s part ritual, part hallucination.
