How To Build A Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Midlands is many things to me. It is equally psychogeographic and biomythographic. The psychogeographic is concerned with the city of Derby, in the Midlands of the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Derby is the site of the first water-powered cotton mill, the engine of the Industrial Revolution and William Blake\u2019s original \u201cdark Satanic Mill\u201d. And yet, Derby today is largely post-industrial. To gather this thread of the narrative of Midlands, I walked the 120km of the River Derwent, a river that bisects Derby and whose flow shaped our world.<\/p>\n<p>The biomythographic is concerned with my experience of growing up in Derby as Other in the 1980s. Now, in my own midlife, I wish to channel these experiences, with alchemical aims.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, finally, the outline of the territory of Midlands begins to reveal itself. It describes a literal and ineffable geography, an exterior and interior landscape. Or else, it is a ritual, undertaken to transform darkness into light.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow To Build A Machine\u201d contains a sample from \u201cAcid Test\u201d by Gorilla (Whitby, Kersey, Cooper, Gatford), which is taken from the Extended Play EP and used with the permission of the authors.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Clara Iannotta &amp; Iain Reekie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distractfold Ensemble:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Roc\u00edo Bola\u00f1os, clarinets, objects and electronics <br>Daniel Brew, electric guitar <br>Linda Jankowska, violin, objects and electronics <br>Alice Purton, cello, objects and electronics <br>Emma Richards, viola, objects, percussion and electronics <br>Sam Salem, diffusion<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commissioned by Bludenzer Tage zeitgem\u00e4\u00dfer Musik, funded by the Ernst Von Siemens Foundation.&nbsp; Premiered 3rd October 2019, Bludenz.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>G<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 15px\">uest performers:<\/strong><\/p><p>Mark Knoop, keyboard and accordion <br>Ute Wassermann, voice<\/p>\n<p><strong>Direction: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sam Weaver, sound engineer<\/p>\n<p>Emily Moore, producer<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c826e53 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c826e53\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2064c9\" data-id=\"c2064c9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1990b22 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1990b22\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4>&#8216;The work stands outside any common form and expression of a piece of music &#8211; it is a kind of staging, a Gesamtkunstwerk of light, live music and electronically embellished sound collages in a precisely ingenious sound design with exactly synchronous multimedia feeds.<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And it quickly becomes clear: this unique performance undoubtedly has substance and creates its own pull, in which the concentration on stage is as high as in the hall.
