Kusum Normoyle, Alan Tomlinson, Steve Beresford + Disinformation What is the connection between the works of French burglar and prostitute Jean Genet and of the 19th century Swiss crystallographer Louis Albert Necker? As an articulation of Jean Paul Sartre's discourse on Genet's embodiment of "the negative", Disinformation remixes audio samples from the final interview with one of modern France's most notorious writers, exploring perceptual ambiguities which link experiences of auditory and visual illusions. Kusum Normoyle works with extended vocal technique and noise for both performance and installation. Central to her practice is the idea of public space, intervention, and the displacement of normal expectations of the female body and voice, performing brief high-intensity vocal incursions which are extremely physical, dragging the audience into a hard, fast displays of screaming, amplification and feedback. Alan Tomlinson is a trombonist "who manages to be simultaneously the best & the funniest you have ever seen". Alan was a long time member of Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers Orchestra, has his own trio with Dave Tucker and Phil Marks, a trio in Berlin, and a duo with Romanian poet Virgil Mihaiu. Recent solos have been with a glass trombone, accompanying a fish & chip van and in the River Seven. Internationally known as a superb free improviser on piano and electronics, Steve Beresford also composes scores for feature films and numerous TV shows and commercials. Steve has worked with hundreds of musicians, including Christian Marclay, Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, Ivor Cutler, Ray Davies, Najma Akhtar, Evan Parker, Adrian Sherwood, Otomo Yoshihide and John Zorn. 7pm sharp, Tues 8 Nov 2011 Usurp Art Gallery & Studios 140 Vaughan Road London HA1 4EB Usurp Gallery is 2 mins walk from West Harrow tube 20 mins by Met Line from Baker Street tube http://www.usurp.org.uk/events/scream_howl_speak/
