Here we go… I set a date, the 9th of December 2209, as the starting and then had to do the drawing… so here it is.
My idea is to just have people arrive, with instruments and various noise makers, and then make it up as we go along. Simple as that. I’m kinda thinking that it’s be interesting for the musicians to disperse accross the room, in small groups or alone, and have any audience, therefore, also dispersed. This may work or it may not but it’ll remove visual cues anyways and leave everybody alot more reliant on using the ears.
As for the picture, it’s directly cut from the first issue of the comic “The Umbrella Academy” and is of a small girl leaning against the window of an airship and looking down on Paris and seeing her fellow “students” embroiled in a disaster while there erstwhile teacher stands resolute behind her. But away from the comic the little scene offers a much more sinister range of possibilities… but it’s strong as a composition for black and white and so I’ll keep it. For me it’s kinda like the standoff between paternal authority and feminine creativity and I kinda think that ones initial meeting of the noise and music thing can be the same as ones feelings around the pre supposing about what the graphic means.
So turn up about 8pm on the 9th and we’ll take it from there.
Two power points upstairs and I’ll get some extension cords and multi boxes.
