Late Works: of Noise (Behind the Scenes)

Описание: Behind the scenes of Late Works: of Noise, out now on Slow Dance Records!

6 groups of musicians created tracks with 6 sculptures/instruments built by artists Tild Greene, Jonas Pequeno, Angus McCrum & Joseph Bradley Hill. Each group had 6 hours to create a track sampling only the instruments and vocals.

Featuring members of black midi, 404 Guild, Sorry, Powerplant, Impromptu & Curl Recordings, the groups were as follows:

1 - DJ Dairy & MC Spritz (black midi), Aga Ujma, Silkarmour & Beth Dawson
2 - Bathwater 404, Devenny 404, Eliot 404 & Sonny 404 (404 Guild)
3 - GG Skips (Glows & Sorry) & Felix Raman
4 - Martha Skye Murphy, Kiran Leonard, Corpse Boy (Impromptu) & Cajm (Powerplant)
5 - Bianca Scout, Jacob Samuel & j. b. glazer (Curl), Cam Molloy, Harald Smart & Elena Isolini
6 - Clottie Cream & Rosy Bones (Goat Girl), Richard Limper (leather.head) & Horse Whisperer

The concept for 'of Noise' by Joseph Bradley Hill takes its inspiration from Luigi Russolo’s 1913 Futurist manifesto “The Art of Noises” and his six classifications of noise:

1 - Roars, Thunderings, Explosions, Hissing Roars, Bangs & Booms.
2 - Whistling, Hissing & Puffing.
3 - Whispers, Murmurs, Mumbling, Muttering & Gurgling.
4 - Screeching, Creaking, Rustling, Humming, Crackling & Rubbing.
5 - Noises obtained by beating on metals, woods, skins, stones, pottery etc.
6 - Voices of animals and people, Shouts, Screams, Shrieks, Wails, Hoots, Howls, Death Rattles & Sobs.

The entire EP was recorded at Slow Dance HQ in London Fields, between the 25th & 29th February 2020 - the studio rules were as follows:

1. Musicians may only bring things that modify sound, not make sound themselves.
2. Vocals are allowed, but any lyrics must be written in the studio time.
3. The tracks must only use noise sampled from the sculptures and the voice.
4. The tracks must be completed within each respective six hour session.

Late Works is a nomadic series of live intermedia events and permutable collective of artists, musicians, writers, designers, filmmakers and dancers, with a monthly radio show on Resonance Extra.

Each manifestation of Late Works is governed by a set of pre-determined rules and instructions, aimed to encourage discourse, collaboration and exchange between the artists taking part. The heavily process-based experimental shows are united by an ethos of indeterminate intermedia improvisation.

Slow Dance, founded in 2016, is a profoundly DIY label and arts collective made up of artists, musicians, designers, A&R scouts, managers and filmmakers. The collaborative nature of the organisation means that lines between art, music and industry sensibilities are blurred and evolved into something entirely new. The current core members, founder GG Skips (who also releases music under the name Glows), Darius Williams and Maddy O’Keefe, are surrounded by a satellite of like-minded creatives who are at the forefront of London’s underground music scene.

Slow Dance’s live event curation has seen them provide a platform to a variety of experimental and burgeoning artists, many of which are now very commercially successful (the likes of black midi, Jockstrap, Sorry, Goat Girl, PVA, Squid and more). It is these events that caught the attention of bookers from Knee Deep, Test Pressing and The Alternative Escape, leading to their involvement in curation, and the label are now partners at the upcoming Brockwell Park festival Wide Awake.
