Come along to play improvised music for an extended period, with visual propaganda. So read on. Oh and this is a Christmas special Yeah!!FEATURED ACT:
Grand Sacred Concert
I'm really excited about this after the rehearsals: Paul Wady on various synths and myself on drums, and both letting our voices out spontaneously. The project is one we plan to take to Edinburgh Fringe Festival where Paul is a mainstay. It started with a life story he has written called Standing in a Public Place that we have been arranging. The music is improvised but given the chemistry that happens with these two individuals, cuts naturally into orderly segments.
ORCHESTRAL IMPROVISED SCORE OF PROPAGANDA SLIDESHOW
I'm making a slideshow of these kind of images that I invite you to add to (here on the Discussions in the Group or PM me):
Subvertising
Brandalism
Ad-hacking
Political art
Other art
You may include video - limited to 1 minute long
Why not make your own subverts?
(Current themes preferred but historical accepted)
The broad theme is:
Surviving the future in all honesty
This will be added to the slideshow that will be projected during a very long improvisation.
Myself and others including Liubo will be 'conducting'. But the images in the slideshow will also be the stimulus to stop or change what we are playing. This will be an extended session that goes for at least an hour. I've already collected well over 100 images from these creators:
Peter Kennard
Banksy
Darren Cullen (Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives)
Brandalism (based in Switzerland - various)
Claus Buehler / Color-Head
Lindsay Grime
Hannah Adamaszaek
Anthony Lister
Dr. D
Gold Peg
John Fekner
Peter Fuss
Agit Art Works
Bill Posters
Dan Birkbeck
Ghost Patrol
Hutch
Never 2501

Penny Rimbaud
Peter Willis
Sean Martindale
Ankles
Cleon Peterson
Esclif
Jordan Sailer
Know Hope 2
Ludo
Ox
Ron English
ShiftDelete
Stanley Donwood
Vinz Feel Free
Infected By Design
Gee Vaucher
Paul Insect
Fintan Magee
The slideshow may well run over the whole evening.
A lot of us try to express thoughts and information in the music and text, and I've come to learn that this is so often not possible, whether because of divided attention or sound issues, that people respond better to images. As Peter Kennard said in his DOPE Magazine interview recently,
"People are not going to sit down and read Chomsky, but they can see an image and put a seed of something in their heads about what's going on."
A number of unplanned things usually happen at Clumsy Club
