Musick for bar items and rotating technology (Drill, Record player, Gramophone, Gloggomobil)’
Performance; Drill, Record player, Gramophone, Gloggomobile, bottles, Wine glass, Microphones,
Musick for bar items and rotating technology (Drill, Record player, Gramophone, Gloggomobil) was a site responsive performance, taking items from The Vaults’ current state of being (bar) and mixing them with mechanical items inspired by the historical watchmakers, metal-smiths and jewelers of the area.
The performance involved playing the bottles (via the gloggomobil), resonating a rotating wine glass (attached to a record player) and amplifying the mechanical sounds of the wind up gramophone. A score was followed which was determined by finding patterns within the acoustic properties of the objects and utilising the Pythagorean scale. The tonic of the piece was based on the constant whine of the drill which powered the gloggomobile.
