<br>
30 years anniversary-tour of Big City Orchestra<br>
<br>
"...Big City Orchestra has existed as a sound-making entity for so long
now that no one remembers exactly how long ago it was formed.^^^^^^^^^
A token birthday celebration of the founding of BCO is held but no one
attends...they are imaginary, be-webbed, obscured. Their grandchildren
and great-grandchildren will sometimes talk to the underground music
press and internet snooper sites, but in general little is known of the
fate of the thousands of cassettes that the band prepared for oddball
UNDERGROUND LABELS. When one member was found buried under crates of
tapes in his peculiar cottage, the other band members of the late 7o's
withdrew from the public eye and focussed their activities around the
Big City area of Los Angeles.^^^^^^^^^^ In a strange house run on
pirated electricity their white-noise-slavery ring was created to
satiate the nearby swingers cabal in Hawthorne. In order to drown out
the screams and crazed laughter a front 'band' was created (so the
story goes) to distract the neighbors with a high-decibel
smokescreen.......... There followed a pastoral section during which
life vibrated at peculiar rate, unlike anything felt previously;
probably induced by an improperly-closed circuit............. The
failure of popular incumbent Mayor Gak in a 1980 election led to a
shift north for the unruly experimenters. Traces of the band appeared
on radio and cassettes and compact discs for years, always under a new
name to elude the public, never titling the music to codify it, somehow
they existed, yet were NOT THERE AT ALL. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The phenomenon
spread outward, like a mail-order virus, a trail of unsolved cat
murders in it's wake. And always the FISH clue. But now perhaps the
elusive underground pop stars had gone TOO far, as they were
confronting the long lamb of the law FATTY WOLVERINE; famous for
solving the CAMP TOM-TOM murders, among other tough cases......However,
the vast membership of the cult-like Orchestra made investigation
difficult for those on the trail, and bizarre clues to unusable crimes,
made of fish, were the order of the day. The sound of these public
massacres was broadcast live on nearby college radio, thus banning all
present and future members of the BCO from the airwaves. This didn't
stop them from mounting a soon-thriving 700-Club-like noise-worship
marathon, which though it only featured a black screen every week, made
enough money to be investigated by the tax authorities. A brisk
mail-order business kept up the steady flow of unfortunate audio and
visual material, and now with their SATELLITE TRANSMISSION STATION,
paid for through years of pirating Beatles songs, they are in a
position to disrupt the world's entire communication systems.<br>

HATI <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.myspace.com/hatitah">http://www.myspace.com/hatitah</a><br>
<br>
HATI is an audiovisual project based on sound of ethnic instruments
from all over the world as well as hand-made instruments or found
objects. HATI forms a link between a personal interest in modern
improvised and acoustic music with ritual and meditation. Since 2003
HATI have performed many times in Poland, Germany, Spain, Netherlands,
Belgium, Ireland, Northern Ireland and England and on festivals, e.g.:
Equinox Festival (London, 2009), Bleisound Festival (Monachium, 2009),
Wroclaw Industrial Festival (2005 & 2007), Audio Art (Krakow,
2006), Ambient Festival (Gorlice, 2008), Open'er Festival (Gdynia,
2008), Festiwal w Krajobrazie (Inowlodz, 2004-2007), Temple of Silence
Festival (2007 & 2008). In 2006 members of HATI organized and
performed 2 tours with Z’EV, one of the founders of ‘industrial' - the
cultural movement. All HATI albums received very good reviews, their
unusual magic sound and power was emphasized. The band was founded in
2001 by Rafal Iwanski and Dariusz Wojtas. They formed many psychedelic
rock and industrial experimental musical projects since the beginning
of the 90’. Since 2007 HATI have performed as a duo: Rafal X-NAVI
Iwanski and Rafal SABON Kolacki and ocasionally with Dariusz Brzostek.
They are also the organizers of CoCArt Music Festival (in cooperation
with Centre of Contemporary Art in Torun).<br>

RINUS VAN ALEBEEK<br>

<br>
Self-described dutch pop musician Rinus van Alebeek, manipulator of
tapes and realities and audio-novelist, visited Porto for a conference
at the Fine Arts University and a concert in Casa Viva. The conference,
held in an auditorium with all the lights turned off, was a masterly
display of how to lead young artists down the road of absurdity,
perversity and mental health. Later on, the concert mixed numerous
tapes through Rinus’s custom-made “acoustic laptop” system, creating
instant mental landscapes, soundtracks and book pages of the soul.
Among the audience stood out a supposed shaman en route to Jerusalem,
who confessed to Rinus the concert had been “healing”. If you ever
wonder how to measure success, healing a shaman is definitely making
it, big time.<br>
