I’ve been playing a lot of vinyl from the collection this
week – as well as wallowing in Talking Heads I’ve been reappraising Yello – was
it really 1981....
Managed to see the wonderful film – Jesus Henry Christ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1393742/
and spent most of it beautifully distressed – a gorgeous looking film exploring
the idea of childhood – you will weep.
Caught the latest faster than sound event at Snape Maltings
is a site specific installation called nocturnal. http://www.aldeburgh.co.uk/events/britten-centenary-weekend-faster-sound-nocturnal
It’s a very beautiful piece using a camera
obscura to show a film twice. It’s on till next week if you’re passing it’s
worth a look/listen.
Already bought tickets for the next faster than sound event in
February Place: Occupation. http://www.aldeburgh.co.uk/events/place-occupation
and am already looking forward to it, especially the new commissions.
The New Wolsey Studio is showing the latest work by Robin
Brooks Britten’s Got Talent http://www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/shows/brittens-got-talent/
its very funny and has an irreverent tone that picks up some of the interesting
lesser known traits of Benjamin Britten I saw the read through so am intrigued
to see how the music and songs have been integrated.
