What happens when memories disappear?

Where do they go, and can we get them back?

Using just his voice and a Roland TD-4KP electric drumkit, Antosh Wojcik explores the effects of dementia on speech, memory and family through the moving story of his Polish grandfather.

Poems become beats become glitches in a mesmeric display of live drumming and spoken word.
