Witnesses of Appliances #8

We were all too busy enjoying the cinematic feast to bother taking any significant photos of the night. Scott was there though, and posted a nice review of the evening; read it here.

This is going to happen again, hopefully on a recurring basis, and Scooterworks is not going to stop for that matter. We just love them both: so different, so complementary, each one with something great to offer…

Appliances #8

For Appliance #8 on Friday 21st November at Cafe OTO, to celebrate the release of our recent FREE compilation, we will be presenting a programme themed more specifically around our work with film. Britt Hatzius will be presenting new work ‘The Film’ with a live sountrack by Adem Ilhan and there will be screenings of recent work by Martin Hampton and Alice Scott with live soundtracks provided by Isambard Khroustaliov, Maurizio Ravalico and Dominic Lash. The evening will also premiere a new film by Candas Sisman, set to a soundtrack by Isambard Khroustaliov and present Joji Koyamas recent animation ‘First Place’. Finally (as if all this wasn’t enough!) there will also be a chance to see some installation work in the early evening and a banging dancefloor set by Rumpistol to keep you reveling late into the night. If you’re interested in the current shape of experimental film and music, this is an evening not to be missed…

Photos from Cave 12

Some pictures from Lothar Ohlmeier and Isambard Khroustaliov‘s recent performance with Skylla (Silvia Faessler and Billy Roisz), programmed by Cave 12 in Geneva. Many thanks to Sixto and Marion for organising the concert and here’s hoping Cave 12 finds a permanent home for its activities soon… (you can see a film documenting their eviction by the Swiss police after 20 years of cultural activity and read about it / contribute a message of support here).

Photos from Appliances #7

Sadly most of Appliances #7 went undocumented on camera (too busy wigging out to take photos…) but it was a plentiful feast for the ears involving various combinations of our guests Andreas Willers (guitar) and Rudi Fischerlehner (drums) with Maurizio Ravalico (congas), Lothar Ohlmeier (bass clarinet) and Isambard Khroustaliov (electronics). Next up – Appliances #8 @ Cafe OTO on the 21st November 2008 – hope to see you there…
