 Late addition.

MIRRORKILL
10 - 11 pm

Mirrorkill are a Lancaster UK-based band, of sorts, & a religious disorganisation (non-prophet, though, because prophecy is theft). We used to describe ourselves as "Mutant Industrial Jazz Punk"; then we invented the genre of Acoustic Heavy Meta; but now insist on being filed under Post-Industrial Digi-Fauxlk.

CANCELLED!
Blame Hurricane Matthew.

iOrganic



iOrganic


16:00- 18:00
​D.I.W.U Records (Do It With Us Records) is an interactive piece about music and memory by performance group iOrganic (Harry Jelley and Lenni Sanders). Climb inside the cardboard record studio for a chat with 'industry moguls' Harry and Lenni about your favourite songs – which festival you'd love to headline – and what makes a song stick in your head. Using their low tech selection of instruments (barely even instruments) you and iOrganic will work together to produce a short terrible recording of a song. You can make a playfully inaccurate new version of whatever's stuck in your head right now or a cover of a song from their Great iOrganic Songbook, if any of the classic pop hits iOrganic have carefully prepared catch your eye.

Picture
iOrganic are a performance company founded by Harry Jelley and Lenni Sanders. They perform their unusual, interactive pieces in theatres, museums and unexpected places. In this new piece they explore music and memory.
