Lonely Creatures: Six Short Films by Howard Walmsley and Ken Hollings. Featuring live deconstructed soundtrack by Howard Walmsley Graham Massey and Ken Hollings with intense interventions by Hot Bone. Lonely Creatures: Six Short Films by Howard Walmsley and Ken Hollings. A Spanish tale of romance that drifts alarmingly away from its starting point; a Japanese scientist obsessed with notions of unrequited love; an announcer struggling to recap the increasingly complicated plot of an old television serial – welcome to the world of the Lonely Creatures. Eternally doomed to disappointment, these are voices we only ever get to overhear. Caught up in telephone conversations, muttering to themselves or simply repeating the words written by others, the Lonely Creatures remain exposed and vulnerable even when no one is listening to them – and yet somehow they keep on going. |
