WHERE AND WHEN?
WEDNESDAY MARCH 31 @ TETRIS
36 Phoenix St, Brunswick
(2 minutes walk from Brunswick Railway Station)
8 p.m. till Midnight
As always, entry is free, and it’s a great opportunity to meet some like-minded artists, see/hear/participate in some great new work and even try out some of your own new material.
So…BRING YOUR GEAR AND HAVE NO FEAR!
THIS MONTH’S FEATURE ARTIST AND Q’n'A IS..
Spoonbill (a.k.a. Jim Moynihan) … an elegant and quirky symphony of honey-scented grooves, jovial humour and joyous beat trickery, melding an ever-evolving array of styles into a distinctive ozzie blend. Call it quirk-funk or downbeat with bite, Spoonbill takes the listener firmly by the scruff of the ear and leads them into a shady forest of rhodes, horns, and deep double bass, then back out into an eccentric wonderland of glitched-out grooves infused with talkback radio and rowdy bush cobbers.
Prescribed Stimulus Jam: The topic for extemporization by performers in one of the jams.
THE THEME FOR THIS MONTH’S P.S.J. IS LABORED OF LOVE: SLOW MOTION – see below for game parameters.
AUDIO – Only play for 25% of the time, only work on one sound at a time.
VIDEO – Only work on one image at a time or concentrate on slow motion of images.
More Impromptu Shorter Sets: whether you want to give a tasty snack sized version of something you are working up or if you just feel like performing something more spontaneous – this is the arena for you.
Variation In Performance: We love it when things are less predictable, lets mash up different numbers of players, maybe try a round robin tag team type of affair?
GET INVOLVED…
