MARK TURNER wallows in the virtuosity of Swansea Jazz Festival openers, Simon Spillett and Pete Long

Autechre + Zoviet France
Barbican
A PROJECTION of trees in a forest is the only thing emitting any light at the Barbican this evening.
The backdrop is for much anticipated support act Zoviet France, legends of the early industrial scene and peers to the likes of Cabaret Voltaire.
The duo Mark Warren and Ben Ponton, from Newcastle, are almost the perfect opening act given their impressive back catalogue of distorted sound experiments.
