Arch experimentalists VOLCANO THE BEAR will provide a live soundtrack to Fischli and Weiss’s acclaimed chain reaction film, The Way Things Go. This will be a one-off gig, and will be performed by Aaron Moore and Daniel Padden. Volcano The Bear’s own music is an often-absurd meeting of unlikely instruments, objects and sounds. Narratives and momentum are created and sabotaged, and accidents happen.
OWL PROJECT straddle the worlds of sound and visual art, with their peculiar sculptural musical instruments, including the mLog, their woodcraft interpretation of an iPod, which contrasts the disposability of modern technology with the labour intensive processes inherent in traditional handcraft objects. This group of process-orientated artists has recently won a coveted grant to create one of the major projects for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
