like waking from a dream of incest feeling ruined forever

Originating from a performance at a pantomime, 'digital snow', where, dressed as grey santas, a set of chirstmas songs were played in the manner of an early electro-minimalist slo-mo band. This footage was interspersed with backstage shots of the performers wallowing in the lonely excesses of bleak parkland and Stones bitter.

Four cd players contain one part of a specially written string quartet each. Whilst playing, the cd's are removed one by one, each has a hole drilled trough it and is then replaced and continues playing. Once the music has dissolved into pops and glithces, one player is drilled through whilst playing to end the piece.
