Summoning the Zeitgeist
A one day music/art project inspired by Cornelius Cardew’s
‘Treatise’
and Frank Zappa’s bicycle….
Devised by John Bently, Mikey Kirkpatrick,
Arthur Bently and Orson Coupland
and the participants:
Magnus Brandt
Elspeth Graham
Helen Cooper
Sean Humm
Gracie Dahl
Grace Keeler
Clara Booth
Ava Nizamis
Eva Povey
Linn Krouthen
Shopna Begum
This was the simplified version of the Brief:
Sit in a quiet place and listen.
Draw what you hear
Organise what you have heard into a graphic score
Send this to someone else to interpret as music,
however they wish.
Make a handmade instrument or gather together
objects and sound generators (squeaky toys, drills, cheese graters
crumply paper, mice )
Interpret the scores you have been sent with sound
generated by your hand made instruments,
Record the sound on your phone
and send back to original Artist.
This is what happened:
