WE ARE FOR A WHILE is a 50 minute work for 4 performers, live electronics and lights, created as part of an 18 month residency with the London based experimental music group Apartment House. 

Using as its starting point the concept and process of ‘recycling', much of the performers’ actions consist of using, dismantling, reconstructing and reusing found objects, broken instruments and lo-fi technology, accumulated from recycling centers, derelict buildings, skips, beaches, alleyways and other strange places over the course of one year. Expanding on the theme, pre-existing music from nearly 20 composers, sound artists and performers especially donated for this project will be ‘recycled’ and re-contextualised within this new work, all bound together by live lighting created with Michael Cutting and Sarah Hill.

The music in this excerpt was created mostly by using pure magnetic waves extracted from a few recycled walkmen and cassette players.

Seeking Safe Harbour

w/ Emily Glass, 're:utada aquae editttttttt'

🎇

I've got bones to pick from my teeth.

Your skull cracked open,
the air opens you.
No body, just a fucked face,
an asteroid from point to point
breaking up into me,
dissolving into me.

One memory fits all.
One memory fits all.

Every fuck, every touch
trafficked as one final feeling
like a twig in a river.

Last Phone Call

Last Phone Call (w/ Emily Glass)

To step up in April we present Ben Vince (@vince21music), a British music creator who swings with his saxophone within multiple textures and approaches to experimental scenarios. 

His technique is outstanding in the electronic processing of sound and his capability to adapt to different audible collaborations with the likes of Joy Orbison, Micachu, Rupert Clervaux, Valentina Magaletti, and Merlin Nova. 

To his eave is got releases on labels as Blank Editions (@blank-editions), Where To Now? (@where-to-now-productions), ThirtyThree ThirtyThree Records, Hessle Audio (@hessleaudio), and more. 

'This is a mix with a lot of friends' music as well as some stuff I'm really feeling on a more laid back tip, some light, some dark, a transition’, Ben Vince.

At the end of the first track, we can hear a piece of poetry made by a friend of Ben, Nasim Luczaj, on our times in enforced isolation.

Recorded in London 31/03/20.
