Yes, another not strictly Cube event, but still in the extended family thanks to organiser of the old pedestrian nights ( and so much more ) Tom Pause_2.
Now we are up to September 24th, and Voyage into The Unknown 2, which featured many many things, including zombie djs Granzon Nodo playing atmospheric horror library music on portable record players, and occasionally instruments . . .
. . . it was a really magical outing, and a pleasure to be ( minimally ) involved . . .
I won’t review everything that went on, but one of the great things was the chancing upon ( or even creating ) strange scenes, like Morgan and Zulieka’s impromptu baroque ballet to Colin Smith’s spooky improvisations . . .
. . . or the fun to be had trampolining in the dark . . .
The first VITU happened in 2003, and it is a mystery to me if or when there is going to be a VITU3 . . . I hope so though . . .
Ok, not strictly cubequese, but rather related. This weekend I went to Sheffield with Jem & Rod to perform that rescore of ‘Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow’ for the Lovebytes festival, comissioned by old Cubetoian Ben Slater . . .
. . . via Chis, sadly not pictured or present due to illness.
Also worse for wear was Rod . . .
. . . throwing up from unwellness not overindulgence. Chis had requested we be as rock’n'roll as possible on his behalf, but with me staying up all night to finish the rescore work and Jem doing almost similar plus driving it wasn’t exactly a rampage once we got there.
Plus the hotel window opened onto a roof, so throwing the telly out didn’t really work. Sorry Chis.
Good though despite all that, and an earlyish night out of town. We saw some interesting performances, ours went hitchlessly, and, you know, I just like Sheffield.
On the way back we stopped to shop in The Mall ( my first and possibly last visit ) . . .
. . . to get presents for Angela who’s birthday it is today.
Happy birthday if you’re reading Lady Z !
Got a message from Ali asking me to do projections, but I’ve not been trained up for that, and anyway, Wednesday Night is granzon Nodo night for me and the lovewig [ see, but don’t understand, below ]
