Bull in a chinashop at the ImprovHelsinki!

Had a nice intimate gig with noises, drones & electroacoustic exploration at the small but delicate space of the 'Barracks' in Helsinki. The Bull got his noises going with lots of looping & deviced recorded sound. Also the limit of somewhat 40 minutes was drawn into a improv of an hour, although kept in a loose structure. Arrangements for the gig where great & delightful to work with.

The night's menu consisted of:

I. Acoustic improv with high random passages of synth sound controlled by an absent minded tape recorder
II. Loops of percussion produced from an acoustic combined with rhythmic feedback noises & free passages for prepared guitar.
III. Noise variations based on the resitation-passages of Allegri's 'Miserere' with low two-voiced singing & other vocal impovs.
IV. A high minded noise piece in major for an electric guitar filtered through a distorted 4-track & lots of delay, featuring impulsive non-virtuoso chanting (Possible title: 'An all time high').

There will also be some video from the gig soon. Tell you when.
