PERFORMERS DETAILS
LISA MCKENDRICK
Lisa McKendrick has discovered that through the embodiment of archetypes, together with electronic noise music, there is a portal to another dimension. She has co-designed a synth which is a key to the timespace. She has often occupied stages which serve as a portal to the immortal. She has a suspicion that if you define this process in too much detail that the timespace keepers will change the lock.
