Show 3.2
Artist: Slavic Kwie
From: ?
Track: ?
Album: ?
Label: ?
From: ?
Year: April 2001
Notes: I recorded this live performance at the Just Listening showcase in the Limerick School of Art and Design last april. The showcase was part of the Just Listen festival run by the National Sculpture Factory in conjunction with CIT, and Cork School of Music. Sadly I can find no information whatsoever about the artist, so all I can really say is that the performance definitely the most adventurous that day: he used field recordings accompanied by strobe lights in imitate the sound of insects, he then ran the length and breath of the church and all around the audience with two sheets of tinfoil on large batons simulating the flight of winged creatures above our heads, and ended with water sounds created with a hydrophone and controlled air tubes releasing bubbles in a campaign cooler filled with water. Sorry for the demystification of the piece…
