Renshaw Street (corner of Leece Street)
Liverpool, L1
Full of Noises is an evening of exciting new music taking place at Liverpool's unique open air venue, the Rockscape. Co-produced by Glenn Boulter and Liverpool Biennial as part of the Light Night, this free event brings together cutting edge music from Liverpool and beyond. The night will explore alternative forms of interaction between musicians and audience and will feature performances from the a.P.A.t.T. Orchestra, Noise Club, Aurelie and a Dj set from Andrew Ellis (Samizdat).
The a.P.A.t.T. Orchestra
The a.P.A.t.T. Orchestra is a musical ensemble of indeterminate size and instrumental content. An inclusive group for musicians of any background, the orchestra was formed to make traditionally ‘high-brow’ music more accessible to a wider audience. The orchestra performs time and space-specific music, including new work by local composers, and utilises the architecture of each venue as a compositional and performance tool. The a.P.A.t.T. Orchestra has performed works by John Cage, Steve Reich and Terry Riley, among others www.apatt.com
Noise Club
Formed in 2003 by three guys who met at a kung fu club, Noise Club is Liverpool's longest-running and most experimental noise group. Straddling the divide between stage performance and interactive intervention, the group creates dynamic soundscapes using homemade electronics, specially-constructed sonic sculptures, found objects, toys, plants, and even smells. Noise Club have played in a wide variety of unusual locations, from underground tunnels and public baths to shopping centres and public gardens, as well as more conventional stage performances. There is always a highly visual and dramatic element to the group's performances, with an emphasis on interactivity, creating a total sensory experience. www.myspace.com/noiseclub1
Samizdat
Andrew Ellis, a.k.a. Samizdat, has acted as a conduit for new and interesting music in Liverpool for the past five years. He has booked early shows for exciting emerging acts such as Foals and Deerhunter as well as acts from the independent music canon such as Liars and Charles Hayward, making Samizdat a hub for independent international acts in the north-west. In addition to independent music based events Andrew runs Samizdat Records (a vinylonly record label), a regular music documentary night at art house cinema FACT, and can also be seen playing records at Blue (Collar) Mondays and various nights across Liverpool. www.myspace.com/samizdatpromotions
