BIO EXHIBITION PERFORMANCE AUDIO LABEL SPPP CONTACT

20 August 2011, We Can Elude Control, Bold Tendencies 5, London

In 2011, the Bold Tendencies project housed in a multi-storey carpark in Peckham, hosted an event with performances from emerging and established sound artists and experimental musicians. The programme We Can Elude Control curated by Paul Purgas, celebrated new strategies within sonic performance, reflecting on ideas of noise, texture and tonality, the legacy of minimalism and the evolving relationship between old and new media. The event featured performances from Mark Fell one half of the cult experimental electronics project SND and an artist on the Raster-Noton label. The programme also included former Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris whose Scorn project has been indispensable in the evolution of British bass driven music and also the London based sound artist Shelley Parker who contributed to the John Cage retrospective hosted at the De La Warr Pavilion. She presented a special set connecting the dots between bass heavy production, digital noise and found sound.
