>
>The London premiere of Marina Rosenfeld's "sheer frost orchestra," a
>17-woman electric guitar performance, to take place at the Tate
>Modern on the afternoon of Sunday May 28 as part of the 'Long
>Weekend' event to mark the rehanging of Tate Modern's permanent
>collection.
>
>The work is approximately 30 minutes long and involves deploying
>nail-polish bottles upon floor-bound electric guitars to generate a
>subtle and extraordinary electronic soundscape. A workshop the day
>before the performance will entail learning a six-gesture vocabulary
>-- "drop", "hop", "drone", "scratch", "slide", and "A for anything"
>(see Marina's eponymous release on Charhizma...), and then learning
>to exploit these six relatively simple gestures as specified by a
>graphic score and a clock.
>
>If anyone has any nail polish bottles can donate to the performance
>please hand them to Ian Stonehouse at EMS (who will then pass them
>on for use!) - Dawn Scarfe
