Cementimental, Barbarians, the DDN + 2 Koi Karp

 

Dancing and Laughing presents Standing and Listening – an evening of noise, improvisation and experimental music.

Live performances from:

Cementimental 

Harsh noise, circuit bending and rough music since 2000AD. One of London’s harshest and most powerful noise artists around today. Extreme noise almost as good as the Japanese do it!

Barbarians

Manchester’s favourite collection of people who enjoy getting together and making horrible noises with electronics, voices and found pieces of metal and machinery. Smash, bang, wallop!

The DDN

“Experimental music output. Take it or leave it. Don’t be a stranger. Don’t be a sinner.”

Some guy from Glasgow made some music that was sort of anti-music, but not really. He never wished to make a packet, he only wished to cause a racket.

Intense, uncomfortable, exciting, entertaining and sometimes even infuriating noise from a real character. Expect quite a performance!

2 Koi Karp

Members: Neil VG (member of Gnod and recent addition to Terminal Cheesecake) and Louise Woodcock (Poppycock – Una Baines project, ex-Womb) began in earnest early this year with the acquisition of The Basement Room space in central Manchester. Woodcock is also one half of Woodcock & Grundstrom, regular artists-in-residence at queer monthly party event Bollox.

The visual element is as important as the sound. A recent live score was performed to a ‘Jarman-esque’ film Water Feather Stone by Louise Woodcock, which included footage of live works in Ibiza by Maurice Carlin and Jennifer Wu. The film was made in an abandoned outdoor night club’s amphitheatre on a hill on the island. The duo have also created live scores to two films by Cheryl (New York art/party collective). The live scores have all been performed at Video Jam events.

Plus DJ’s from Dancing and Laughing playing interesting music until quite late.
