Tectonics Glasgow 2023 Day 2 review

EDWARD. Kind words and mutual talk makes our grief greater.
   Therefore, with dumb embracement, let us part.
   Stay, Gaveston; I cannot leave thee thus.
GAVESTON. For every look, my love drops down a tear:
   Seeing I must go, do not renew my sorrow.

Christopher Marlowe, Edward II, Act 1 Scene 4

For every look, my love drops down a tear

The first in an occasional 'artists series' within my mattreviews podcasts in which I examine artists who are significant to me. I begin with Derek Jarman, and as a way of structuring my thoughts concentrate primarily on his film War Requiem, which is structured around the 1963 recording of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, itself a setting of the Requiem Mass and selected poems of Wilfred Owen.

A description of a walk from Manchester to York.

I Walked for 25 Hours Nonstop!

An account of a 19 hour walk around the outside of the M60, Manchester's orbital motorway.

I Walked for 19 Hours Around the M60!

A description of a walk from Manchester to Thelwall; with digressions to complain about roads, and get angry about the recent race riots.

Thelwall, and Real World Intrusions

My take on Peter Bellamy's setting of a Rudyard Kipling poem. From a recent set of unaccompanied folk tunes I'll probably self-release shortly.

Oak, Ash and Thorn

Tear Fet's performance at Gary Fisher's Noise Above Noise Residency event on 24 April 2015 at The Penthouse NQ, Manchester. Both Gary Fisher's two sets, and Helmut Lemke's performance were excellent, as they were the following day at Fundevogel in Todmorden.

The first three audio sketches  devised on 10 Aug 2015 for a new piece, Icarus, to be performed 19 Aug 2015 at The Other Room 56 in Manchester. I agreed to perform on 9 Aug, after one of the scheduled performers was unable to make that event.

Icarus Audio Sketches 1 - 3

The last two audio sketches devised on 11 Aug 2015 for a new piece, Icarus, to be performed 19 Aug 2015 at The Other Room 56 in Manchester. These are largely spoken-word, with the exception of a brief improv at the end of the first recording. I agreed to perform on 9 Aug, after one of the scheduled performers was unable to make that event.

Icarus Audio Sketches 4 - 5 - Speaking

An extract from the third recorded version (from 13 Aug) of a guide for my new semi-improvised piece, Icarus, to be performed 19 Aug 2015 at The Other Room 56 in Manchester. The recordings are to help me identify what works and what doesn't, and to help me memorise the structure of the piece.

I agreed to perform on 9 Aug, after one of the scheduled performers was unable to make that event.
