“Levnshulme Bicycle Orchestra” am Montag 28. Juni ab 20.00
LBO sind kompromisslos experimentell, erinnern bisweilen trotzdem an die doch recht angenehem zu hörende “Swordfish Trombones”-Ära von Tom Waits. Spoken wirds trifft auf improvisierte Musik. Musik erzeugt von Post-Its, CDrs, Bass, Stimme und …Fahrradteilen.
In eigenen Worten erklären sich LBO so:
The group operates in an as yet undefined area between intuitive ritualised musical theatrical performance and shared collective improvising around musical and lyrical themes developed by all members of the group. There are various aims and objectives.
- To function as an accepted method of therapy for members to express and explore ideas and behaviors in forms that would be unacceptable outside the realms of performance.
- As a theoretical machinery that allows the musicians and audience to interrogate their own ideas of the boundaries and interrelations between sound, music, tone, vibration, movement, theatre, performance, spectacle, art, and catharsis.
- As an ongoing process of instrument building, adaptation and reclamation from that which is not specifically an instrument but with which sound can be made. This use of scrap, discarded and recycled objects rebuilt as instruments locates a utilitarian power with the players and for anyone who wants to imagine and construct their own instruments.
