public opinion descends upon the demonstrators

ok another day another thing learned (so that’s what seuil means - now horsemouith just has to find out how to say it). he watched agnes varda's l'une chante, l'autre pas dayglo feminist protest movie (with musical numbers) - a fitting cousine as part of a double bill for les stances a sophie.




horsemouth is playing a secret gig (at secretly celebrated the hackney music club) message him if you wish to apply for tickets and there will be a strict vetting procedure involving a blood oath with something to do about never visiting naples or venice. of course the gig may not be happening at all (for real) it may just be some email harvesting scam.

wednesday night horsemouth and his co-conspirators rehearsed (you know the drill). the band name is still undecided - on reflection they forgot to rehearse most of the tunes they are likely to actually play - there will be other musicians performing also and karaoke opportunities.

‘with the widespread use of ‘canned’ music (radio, phonograph and tape playback in serious music...) the visual or theatrical aspect of the performance of music has lost much of its significance’ says gordon mumma.

from the same era robert ashley titled a piece public opinion descends upon the demonstrators.

horsemouth once attended a live demonstration of au seuil de la liberté with a giant wax firing canon blasting away at the walls of a ‘white cube’ art gallery (it may have been the gugenheim in bilbao - it may have been a rainy day). he has to admit that he enjoyed it (it went bang!) even though he thought the institutional critique involved was utterly feeble.
