"Bloody Sirens"

Musarc/Neil Luck - Bloody Sirens LP (Entr’acte E228)

On Sunday 3 October 2015, London-based choral ensemble Musarc spent the afternoon at Extra City Kunsthal in Antwerp to perform and record four pieces by artist/composer Neil Luck. These sessions were expertly captured, engineered and mixed by Bert Aerts.

This record will be launched on 11 May in London as part of Odradek, a three-day concert series of experimental music, performances and talks organised by Musarc.

A sonic view is an innovative programme of workshops and live performances developed by Musarc for Bold Tendencies 6. Taking cues from the building’s location, character and textures, three new choral works developed by composers Claudia Molitor, Michael Betteridge and members of the ensemble are presented to the choir for the first time on the day, rehearsed in one-hour workshops, and performed in the evening alongside a diverse programme of music juxtaposing traditional and contemporary choral material with music concrète. A sonic view workshops are open to the public.

Sound Artist & Composer Janek Schaefer was born in England to Polish and Canadian parents in 1970. While studying architecture at the Royal College of Art (RCA annual prize), he recorded the fragmented noises of a sound activated dictaphone travelling overnight through the Post Office. That work, titled Recorded Delivery (1995) was made for the Self storage exhibition with one time postman Brian Eno and Artangel. Since then the multiple aspects of sound became his focus, resulting in many site-specific installations, exhibition & dance soundtracks, albums and concerts using his self built record players with manipulated found sound collage. The ‘Tri-phonic Turntable’ (1997) is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the ‘World’s Most Versatile Record Player’.
