Graeme Hogg will present Haiti Street Radiophonia, a 40 minute performance of Field recordings made in Haiti during February 2012. Mixing together sounds from Voudou rituals, short wave radio sermons, people singing, street sounds, environmental audio and sounds of encounters during carnival in Jakmel. A colourful, intense and intriguing sonic experience capturing an essence of Haitian spirit.
Mr_hopkinson's computer is a project by artist and computer owner, David Hopkinson. The Computer sings surprisingly emotional reinterpretations of indie-rock classics from the final few decades of the last Century - a time before auto-tune emerged to muddle recordings of human vocal skill and mask error and emotion. As a solo performer, the easily anthropomorphised laptop has taken his routine of unexpected takes on familiar tracks, plus jovial between song banter, up and down the UK and beyond, with and without mr_hopkinson in tow. Referencing - and being - antiquated technology The Computer still blinks with apparent hope into the future, and has enjoyed numerous plays on late night radio 1, BBC 6music and XFM, recently appearing in the "Man vs Machine" episode of Colin Murray's Soundscape series.
The Cube is a Microplex Cinema,arts venue, adult creche and progressive social wellbeing enterprise in central Bristol. John Street Social Club is a series of weekly friday night club socials hosted by different artists each week with visuals and audio to share in a non-precious environment.
