The Best Three Hours Of All The Night-Times

The ‘Literary Salon’ at the Latitude Festival played host to some bizarre occurrences this summer a portion of which is documented above by Britt Hatzius.

In a party/festival atmosphere people are asked to recline on a chaise-long and blow up a balloon until it bursts. They are filmed and a video-still of the crucial moment is chosen, together with onlookers, and printed out. Over the evening a display of these images starts to grow. Involuntary reaction obliterates any decision of how to present oneself for this unusual ‘portrait’, and in so doing creates a ‘natural’ picture of our expressive mechanism in a split second of crisis.

Originally developed by Rotozaza for LIFT (London International Festival of Theatre) in 2011. It is an ongoing project.

Music: Stuzzikini by Icarus

New Release – The Human Arm

The new Leverton Fox album ‘The Human Arm‘ is now available!

"The title of Leverton Fox’s new album may be obliquely suggestive of something chimeric – or even cyborgian – but in fact this is a successful, near seamless, merging of the forms … There is a real sense on The Human Arm that the participants are leaving any individual ego behind to become completely absorbed into a monstrous collective. As a result, it makes for an out of this world sonic experience." The Liminal

"Tim Giles’ fleeting polyrhythms folded into shimmering sci-fi electronica conjure the idea of Elvin Jones jamming with Tangerine Dream." Jazzwise

"The Human Arm is a dark, esoteric mash-up of free jazz, glitchy beats and power electronics-style overdriven bass drones." The Skinny

"… the album will appeal to those who’ve found enjoyment in the free-jazz space exploration of Sun Ra or the psychedelic live performances of Kluster." The Sound Of Confusion

Cafe OTO with Shoeb Ahmad and Flights Of Helios

You can also catch Leverton Fox live supporting Shoeb Ahmad with Flights Of Helios at Cafe OTO this Suturday.
