Radio 3.=20

show.

****People Like Us***Nic Collins and Jonathan Impett***Marie Goyette***

People Like Us expose a surreal world of bad connections and faulty
communications, where presenters, interviewees, lost stars and found sounds
become trapped in a misfiring loop of reference and repetition. Bellowing a
gagged love song in a stifled spew, this mean mash of psychobabble is a
window into a world of monotony induced trance.

Using modern tools as afforded by the advent of desktop video/audio
manipulation and editing, People Like Us create new landscapes where once
were merely soundscapes; the two disciplines of sound and image are
seamlessly melded together. There is no limit to the possibilities ..

Marie Goyette comes out of Quebec and lives at present in Berlin. Most
recently seen in London in Heiner Goebbels mesmerising Hashirigaki, Marie
has been working with electronic music since 1989 including work with Otomo
Yoshihide and Chris Cutler in the latters P53 ensemble. For Cut and Splice
she shreds ballet and chops up Prokofiev before your ears.

Nic Collins studied composition with Alvin Lucier at Wesleyan University an=
d
worked for many years with David Tudor. In the 1990=8Fs he was Visiting
Artistic Director of Stichting STEIM (Amsterdam), and a DAAD
composer-in-residence in Berlin. Since 1997 he has been editor-in-chief of
the Leonardo Music Journal and in 1999 he joined the faculty of the School
of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he is currently Chair of the
Department of Sound. Nic will be performing with Jonathan Impett, (trumpet,
cornet and electronics). Their set will include Pea Soup (1974-76, software
version 2002); English Music (2003) the latest in a series of pieces
combining "skipping" CDs (in this case, of 16th century Consort music) with
acoustic instruments.; and Devil's Music (1985, software version 2002) in
which the performer sweeps the radio dial (AM, FM, shortwave and scanner
bands) in search of suitable material to sample on the fly, loop, layer,
retrigger, reverse, detune and re-rhythmitize.

Plus in the bar, a unique chance to hear Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys
in evolution through high-quality studio out-takes spanning seventy-two
tracks and running over three and a half hours.
