An evening of audio visual performances in the surroundings of Ulverston's immaculately preserved art deco cinema.



Andrew Deakin opened the proceedings screening John Cage's film 'One11' alongside a meditative electro-acoustic composition. Aurelie were up second with an outing for their piece 'Silence is Twice as Fast Backwards' in which a series of film subtitles are stripped of their images, providing the starting point for 5 group improvisations. Third was a song-based laptop and guitar set from Mondo Bongo (alias actor and musician Damian Rose) accompanying his own Barrow AFC-inspired visuals. The event culminated in a visceral performance by Good Noise Bad Noise that took Italian horror classic 'Suspiria' as the raw material for a series of intense audio-visual improvisations.
