Dance attracts a singular music that is born of collaborative process and concentrated synaesthesia. This music is remarkably ephemeral, heard for only a few performances and lost to the ether, almost entirely unrepresented in recorded media. We dreamed up An Ear For A Leg as a way to give mew life to works originally created for the dance-performance context.
