KUKURUKU SHOWCASE #3 AT CAFE OTO, LONDON 12/02/13

    ADAM BOHMAN & TASOS STAMOU, MECHA/ORGA, LEAFCUTTER JOHN

Third attempt at Cafe Oto to join different kinds of exploratory music into a an evening which could make some kind of sense...was there any? Should there be a sense? I have no clue...perhaps only the audience might have an opinion about this...
Our duo with Adam Bohman (The Car Boot Sales) had their third appearance since we got together...we had all of our junkyard equipment there and did our best to confuse the guests and ourselves...
Mecha/Orga freaked us out with his premiere "non laptop" field recording composition performance.
I wondered why he ever needed a laptop to display his odd sound documentary footage...
Anuway, in the end of the evening Leafcutter John, as cool as a leafcutter should be, amazed us with his "western tuned" harmonics played by light sensors and a toy xylophone.





TASOS STAMOU & ADAM BOHMAN (The Car Boot Sales), PANOS HARALAMPOUS at KNOT ARTS, ATHENS 02/02/2013

   An adventurous event in Athens at the basement of 'Knot Arts', while a massive parade of angry greek nationalists was talking place above our heads...we could hear them marching with their ugly boots, their noisy motorcycles and their military drumbeats.
People arrived late and tensed and it took us a while to calm them down but eventually everybody was captured by Panos Haralampous' stories of an alternative "greekness" and by his wild dj-set using amplified dried cactus leaves and red roses' thorns instead of turntable needles. Later on Adam and Tasos performed with their junkyard instruments that they brought all the way from London...
