Perhaps Contraption - Nearly Human - “Avant-Rock / Art - Pop / Post-Classical / Marching Band / Something or other” present their theatre show soundtrack

"Send me hope we are akin, Distant parts of one machine" Nearly Human is the soundtrack to our gig theatre experience of the same name. We performed this show between 2018 - 2020. It describes the life-cycle of one extraordinary atom, and how this tiny, ancient, unfathomable thing travels through various lives and experiences on its journey through the aeons. Partly inspired by cosmologist Carl Sagan, the piece contemplates how our baffling, unlikely existence is intertwined with the stars. Touching upon biology, spirituality and cosmology, Nearly Human is an epic and euphoric celebration of life and the universe.

Perhaps Contraption are a twisted 9 piece art rock brass band from London. Part chamber orchestra, part choir, part experimental marching band; their sound is something like Steve Reich meeting Frank Zappa and Sufjan Stevens in some sort of punk-jazz collision, staggering through a fairground.

The troupe’s intense pop up performances have created a cult-like festival following, and won them the…

If you don’t know the amazing Perhaps Contraption who are like a marching band version of the Mothers Of Invention (well they aren’t but why should we put labels on them?) then you definitely should search them out!

Anyway Squire Squire from Perhaps Contraption has released his very first solo album! “Oversleep” is much more psych-folk, even including a Beefheart cover, but does feature some fellow members of Perhaps Contraption.
