talks by Nick Klein & Makoto Oshiro and Paul Abbott
"approaching self-built systems for thinking about collaborative performance and composition in electro-acoustic music; real and fictional drums"
In the form of a dialogue with a number of fictional characters, a letter to friends, Paul Abbott will present a non-technical exploration, oscillations everywhere, a body-to-body shaking out of some words about sounds and sounds about words — spoken, fictional and concrete, about combining drums and synthetic sounds — real, imaginary, live, and the making of his recent record called ‘Knees, Elbow Bag’. About his recent collaboration with Chicago footwork founder Kavain Wayne Space (aka RP Boo) and saxophonist Seymour Wright. On exploring how the body and its movements generate meaning and imaginative structures during a performance setting and on maintaining an “alter practice of ongoing undoing”. Fictional characters in a garden; a speaking frog, a talking balloon, and the life-world soundings of non-contact…
Nick Klein and Makoto Oshiro will share the process behind their collaborative work with Oshiro’s self-built ‘kachi-kachi’ acoustic machines and Klein’s synths and effects within a reciprocal system navigated by both. The talk follows up their last year’s series of shows, as well as their release ‘Spaced’ on Superpang, with their collaborative work tending to be both dynamic and physical.
