A somehow hyper-modern, ancient and folkloric lip-synced, made-up, fashioned performance.
This set continues on from the Bud Neill inspired clatter using the contents of the Usurper twin’s pockets.
A specially commissioned performance for organ. “The course of the stars were to be put to sound.”
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
Now a two day festival, INSTAL 04 was borne of a desire to open eyes, challenge audiences and expand musical horizons. This was also the year in which a certain representative from Corwood Industries made his first ever live appearance.
Screening of films by Duvet Brothers, David Critchley, David Hall, John Latham, Judith Goddard, Mike Leggett, Tony Sinden
