Ross Bencina

WHERE AND WHEN?
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24 @ TETRIS
36
Phoenix St, Brunswick
(2 minutes walk from Brunswick Railway Station)
8
p.m. till Midnight
As always, entry is free, and it’s a great opportunity to meet some
like-minded artists, see/hear/participate in some great new work and even try
out some of your own new material.
So...BRING YOUR GEAR AND HAVE NO
FEAR!
THIS MONTH’S FEATURE ARTIST AND Q'n'A IS..
Spoonbill (a.k.a. Jim
Moynihan) ... an elegant and quirky symphony of honey-scented grooves,
jovial humour and joyous beat trickery, melding an ever-evolving array of styles
into a distinctive ozzie blend. Call it quirk-funk or downbeat with bite,
Spoonbill takes the listener firmly by the scruff of the ear and leads them into
a shady forest of rhodes, horns, and deep double bass, then back out into an
eccentric wonderland of glitched-out grooves infused with talkback radio and
rowdy bush cobbers.
Visit the OUTPOST site to check out some video of Spoonbill
Prescribed Stimulus Jam: The topic for extemporization by performers in one of the jams.
THE THEME FOR THIS MONTH’S P.S.J. IS LABORED OF LOVE: SLOW MOTION - see below for game parameters.
AUDIO - Only play for 25% of the time, only work on one sound at a time.
VIDEO - Only work
on one image at a time or concentrate on slow motion of
images.
More Impromptu Shorter
Sets: whether you want to give a tasty snack sized version of
something you are working up or if you just feel like performing something more
spontaneous – this is the arena for you.
Variation In Performance: We love it when things are
less predictable, lets mash up different numbers of players, maybe try a round
robin tag team type of affair?
