The lovely folk at Compost and Height have now opened up their page documenting their George Brecht Water Yam project. We’ve submitted our video realisation, which is also embedded below. Watch this space for more live realisations as well…
A fantastic gig at Live Sound Tracks performing our realisation of George Brecht’s Water Yam with live sound and video. Many thanks to Tom Mudd for inviting us, and to Gus Garside, DanPowell, Tom White and Matt Hammond for sharing the bill. The trangallan is lovely quirky venue as well – well worth a visit.
Our second invite from the lovely folk at SoundFjord, this time as part of an excellent series of concerts by the artist Martin A. Smith during his exhibition Written On Silence at the GV Gallery. The other acts on the bill were fantastic, making for a really great night. We explored a similar set-up to the one we used at Galerie8 although with a different set of rules to navigate by. The photos below show the set-up before, during and after:
Charlie organised this project as part of the Great Exhibitionists series at the Royal College of Music, where we collaborated with harpist MartinoPanizza and musician and photographer Tom Mills. The piece took place in a pitch black room, and explored relationships between light, object-based sound and traditional instruments. Three performers navigated the objects in the room, whilst influencing the performances of a harp and a piano using small lights as a medium of communication. A really interesting and enjoyable project that suggested many ways forward for the future.
Our first gig at Galerie8 as part of their Sunday Sound Waves series. We were asked to come up with an ‘object-based score’ by Helen at SoundFjord as part of the event she was curating called Phono:graphic, exploring the joins between sound and visual art. The whole event was fantastic – filled with tons of works by some amazing artists – it was a pleasure to be part of it. Our set-up is at the top of the picture above – the objects/instruments are arranged for us to play based on their position. Movement between and around objects was determined by a pair of homemade dice for each player along with some simple rules:
