Title: Dys Tanz
Participants: Melanie Clifford, Howard Jacques, Alisdair McGregor.
Description: Looking into the (radio) Dys Tanz . Punning on dysfunctional dance and distance. Eliptical orbits, differing distances and qualities inside and outside the studio again. Transparent layers moving like parallax. The Octopus Dance Band Practice material from earlier the same evening featuring Martin Harrison, Mick Hobbs, Mary Currie and Howard Jacques recorded in an hurry for use in the programme at Nolia’s, Old Kent Road distanced by clock time and geography, unified through playback as withing track. Cooks up some big bass presence where distance becomes reduced but never removed, vignettes become density. Breaks back into contrasting layering patterning. Test confirms engineers found it easier to make closer present sounds than distant subtle ones though relative movements of elements was maintained intensely and various distances charted. The underpinning of traffic rumble and rush. Radio static invisible collage German language mystery broadcast. Traveling, traveling, traveling.
Bermuda Triangle Test Transmissions – October 22nd 2009
“Which is the Bermuda Triangle Test Transmission’s investigation of Interiority.” Sending out from the inside. Immersed in concentration. Slow and deliberating. Time re-establishes in the present moment again and again. Are we moving at all or are we static? It has perceivably slowed into contemplation concentration time. Readings on Gilles Deleuze/Interiority proceed. Sound re-animates the insistence of time. Hefty theoretical readings skip and flutter along followed by zen garden trio sound meditations. Acoustic and electronic interiorities then, while hypnotized In deep theoretical ‘right in there’ interiority payoff, a song is spontaneously cancelled. Rolling loud sound sounding like an abandoned sailing ship lurching on the waves is calmed by a melodic chord trance repeat pattern. Sonic gardening and more from our Interiority correspondent. Time is almost flowing normally again. Humorous animal type noises and real laughter! creaky, thumpy, clumpi, fini.

Title: Courtyard Explorers
Participants: Melanie Clifford, Howard Jacques, Alisdair McGregor.
Description: Microphones strategically positioned outside the studio in the Resonance courtyard opening the larger, outside space of the car park for the performers to sonically and physically and mentally explore. Clues and queues coming from pre-discussed concepts including: Dichotomous is a sustaining exercise, memory exercise, the mythological, poetic, nebulous and gravitational influences of the moon, observational and imaginative description, leading sustaining exercises of observation of generated kinetic movement, ratio of outside to inside performers, incidental traffic and inevitable wind noise.
