A very rare live performance for me at the Café OTO gig celebrating 20 years of our CRiSAP research centre. I must only have done 10 or so gigs ever, most memorable having been Decoys at Iklectik, the Resonance FM Big Band at Duke of Yorks Cinema, the Biscuit Factory in Beaconsfield, a theatre at Cava de’ Tirreni. In a trio with Rory Salter and Mark Peter Wright, we continued to explore the themes that animated Decoys: Foley, camouflage, the idea of the field and what to wear there, how to be equipped.
I played my the zips, fabric and velcro of my cagoule, a PELI case, some mylar bags containing gloves discovered on COVID lockdown walks and sealed away ever since, radios with hydrophone recordings (from the Dewpond show) and soundtracks scraped from YouTube videos their creators had tagged #IfATreeFalls.
