Comments and suggestions so far include:
..it was something entirely unique and totally mesmerising..
(we enjoyed) particularly the simplicity of it, which spoke for itself; each sound or track being really ‘clean.’
(we) thought that using different speakers for different sounds would have been interesting and I’d have quite liked to have sound from other directions as well. I think the material was simple and clear enough to take a little bit of shifting and shuffling about.
..really enjoyable and varied show and we both loved it.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes jolly and sometimes mysterious..
Nice to meet another Joe Meek fan in the audience too.
From our point of view the show seemed to go very quickly, but it was only 4 minutes short of what we think of as the optimum length. When you are working with largely finite clips of sound, and (apart from the locked groove at the start) no looping it should be possible to keep things pretty tight so I'm glad we managed that. We had a good sound too...the Dock Museum has a good acoustic, and Damo provided a nicely balanced mix.
I did an interview on Radio Cumbria to promote the show, and Paul Braithwait the presenter asked about how we go about putting the piece together..do we have a big sheet of paper with blocks of sound arranged on it? Yes we do...here it is..
And here's an MP3 from the desk recording of the show...
Thanks again to Victoria (who also took the photos), Sarah, Simon, Graham, Anita and Nicole from the Dock Museum for their support on the day/night and to our audience, it was great to be able to present this piece in this unique venue.
