Last Saturday night at the Fishermen’s Chapel in Old Leigh. Here’s the details of what was. I want to make some notes while it’s fresh in my mind.
First off, the sound art of event organiser Lev Dudas, which that night seemed strongly radiophonic to me.
Saulius Bendoraitis & Brian Webb: the former providing complex and gorgeous musique concrete soundscapes while the latter did some (slightly muffled) spoken word over the top.
And finally Sunfish Starfish, who to my mind owned the night with an absolutely IMMENSE sound reminiscent of Philip Jeck, only more expansive and meditative – like listening to eight sunken bands and orchestras. Made my fucking week, it did.
Special shout to Karina Townsend, who performed with an assemblage of plastic tubes, sound pickups, a straw and a Marigold washing up glove that I can really only describe to you as an electronic bagpipe…
