Air Conditioning Works for Courtyard Studio

UPDATE: the date for these works has been changed to 17th and 18th November. 

Emergency work to replace the air conditioning unit for the Courtyard Studio will be taking place next week starting on 3^rd November.  There will be some significant noise when some of the work is underway i.e. use of jack hammers to prepare the concrete base for the unit.  This will be in the area near the bike rack.  The noisy element should take 1-2 days. At this point, it looks like we can leave the studio itself available to book and use, but the noise will almost certainly preclude any recording work. Sorry for the short notice.

More UK Young Artists Festival

UK Young Artists Festival - Leicester - 7-9 November

The UK Young Artists Leicester Festival set to light up the city with creative talent from across the UK

Three days of exhibitions, performances, installations, gigs, poetry and workshops take place across the city at established venues and independent spaces. 

There is a full and varied programme on offer across the weekend of Friday 7 to Sunday 9 November. See the full programme at here.

Of particular interest for MTI/MTP: 

Joe Snape – Lärmlicht #5

A music performance that takes place in the dark. Set against their own amplified sounds and accompanied by a warped ensemble of celesta and vibraphone, six incandescent light bulbs flicker and bloom into life. With each flash painstakingly programmed on a machine built from scratch, materials are arranged, cued and manipulated in live performance: the seen and the heard strain against each other to fuse in a single audiovisual event. Sharp impulses, electrical bursts, afterimages and delay lines fold into one another, brutal and reflective by turns. The work was first performed in spring 2014 at Café Oto and The Kitchen.

Friday 7 November – De Montfort University (PACE Building) – 5.30pm and 9.30pm

Secure your FREE ticket for either performance via this link:

http://ukyoungartists.eventbrite.co.uk

Thomasthinks presents Plynth

Four-piece Plynth will perform a 40-minute audio visual performance featuring live instrumentation and spontaneously generated visuals. Each of the participants are artists within their own right and will be coming together for this occasion to create something extraordinary, creating an uplifting ambience of spontaneity, delicate sonics and poetic expression, blurring the boundaries between sonic and visual arts.

Featuring David Hepple (Guitar), Glen Hicks (Bass), Tom Harris AKA Thomasthinks (Beats, Keys, Voice) and Will Pettipher (Visuals, Saxophone).

Saturday 8 November – The Landsdowne – 10pm
