More Real Than The Everyday World

2010-09-29T20:24:00.002+01:00

'Dumka' by Paul Carr and Eddie Farrell provided additonal music to a film by Jenna Collins; More Real Than the Everyday World. Seaming To has composed and will perform live much of the music to MORE REAL THAN THE EVERYDAY WORLD.

Working with a selection of amateur fiction films held by the North West Film Archive, MORE REAL THAN THE EVERYDAY WORLD disrupts normal relations between the present and archive material by attempting a collaboration with the original filmmakers via their completed productions. Running through the work are questions about the process and activity of writing narrative fiction, about what it might articulate, bring into being or exorcise for the writers themselves. Moving between the humour, violence and unfathomable intentions of the original films, the result is a series of episodes that variously attempt to extend, question, join in with and answer back to the archives collection.
MORE REAL THAN THE EVERYDAY WORLD is the result of GLEANERS a month-long residency at the North West Film Archive commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices.

Screenings include:
AND Manchester
AND Preston
AND Ulverston
LiverpoolBiennial2010
8th London Short Film Festival 2011

Hear the original improvised version of Dumka here.

2010-02-28T23:41:00.009Z

The second CD instalment for Bruce. I am keeping him up to date with my progress during the weeks leading up to his NEW WORK - A HOT POTATO AGAINST A DARK BACKGROUND; I will be performing two compositions, to be confirmed.

Knowing I will be putting together a CD for Bruce on a near weekly basis has been a good deadline and helped me to keep moving forward, and develop new potential sound structures; Apple Crumble (track 2) draws on a mixture of old and new prose; Where did you get that haircut from? The Farm?; I tried to explain Mr & Mrs, a day time TV show; This is your chance to frisk up and down in the Spreadsheet Singles Bar, The Elongated Iron Bar [and] The Worm ridden Flannel Bar. Words getting out, with its teeth singing to the surface of the bar.

It's a Police Matter in Waterloo (track 3, PRESS PLAY); a potential theme tune for a TV game show of the same name, perhaps. I was thinking about The Sweeney.

MURPHY'S WAVE at CAFE OTO

2009-06-27T23:43:00.004+01:00

We finally decided to do something about working together when the Work in Progress (Benedict Drew, Emma Hart, Dai Jenkins, Corinna Till) invited us to take part in their programmed evening in which thirty artists presented live and pre-recorded artworks that use, control or play on TV; Noisy Image was to be held at Cafe Oto in Dalston.

Thisevening we presented Murphy's Wave . . as the blurb we wrote went. . "a building of compositions and volumes. 'Murphy's Wave' takes it's intial impulsefrom an e mail conversation with Douglas Murphy, the world's foremost wave (machine) designer". We performed "in a bid to build a storage facility for sound and pictures out of the given duration". To follow the correspondence between Jenna and Douglas Murphy please visit http://thejennacollinsarchive.wordpress.com

We first made our 'appearance' on this blog-site and the fourth installation of The Carr Radio. We found there was a natural chemistry between the three of us, in between the serious interviews I conducted with Chris and Jenna was good banter and even a stab at a bit of improv!

Notes to accompany LUFT HYDYN by Eddie Farrell

2009-01-30T23:55:00.003Z

Fahrad Fahren or travelling by Bike, in Berlin is easy. Or that is what I believed when I first arrived.

Coming from the knotted congestion of London’s narrow streets, to the vast roads and cycle paths of Berlin couldn’t be more different; but having always cycled, I would say that central London is one of the safest cities to get around by bike; save for the odd Taxi door opening into your face, from my experience, cars hardly ever get any space to build up enough speed, to really hurt you. ( I am sure statistics contradict this personal observation)

Space in Berlin plays tricks on the mind; Because of the lack congestion you cover double the distance in the same amount of time a journey would normally take. This David Blaine type mystery only became clear to me just before Christmas when I was showing a friend a route map of my daily cycle; In the same time that I would have done a 10 to 12mile round trip from Kentish town to Hackney Wick, It was pointed, that I was actually cycling 18 to 20mile on a journey from Mitte, to Kreuzberg to Wedding, and then back?

On the very night this phenomenon was realised, I fell victim to one of the worst aspects of Berlin cycling; The cyclists!

Sanctimoniously, speeding dangerously past with no consideration for the pedestrians. They are the new car drivers; in fact, fat BMW’s recognise their kin, slowing down to usher through threatening packs of bikes. And these are no ordinary bikes; They are, the big- bugger- Amsterdam- Variety. The night I came into contact with one I spent the following hours in the krankenhaus being splinted up with a broken wrist.

I have never been too bothered about cycling in Winter; As long as there is no black ice and you wrap it well, it can be pretty exhilarating. However, these last 3 weeks of January have made me reassess this; The grit that’s chucked everywhere, to stop you slipping; becomes the bike-tyre equivalent, of cycling over broken glass. 3 flat tyres in 5 days is a depressing statistic; particularly the one that occurred in the middle of a snow covered Tier Garten; I found myself tugging the incapacitated two wheeler with a flop-wobbling tyre along the Strasse Des 17 Juni, from the Prussian victory column to the Brandenburg Gate. On this mammoth stretch of road I suddenly found myself in two David Lean films at once; The painfully slow progress along the Strasse, was the approaching Camel in the early desert scene of Lawrence of Arabia. But this was no desert; Dr Zhivago.

Finally to my, brush with Germanys, drink-peddling law. On Sunday evening I met a friend at 7pm in a Kottbusser Tor, bar. He had just got back from a month in Ethiopia and had many stories to tell. Our evening concluded around 1.30am, I would guess that I’d had around 7 Biers. Outside it was about minus 2 degrees. We quickly said our goodbyes and I began my cautious 20 minute cycle North. Having just crossed the River Spree, I halted at a red light. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned round to see 5 Polizei standing there; Immediately, a story came to mind of someone who had been stopped by the police on their bike after they had been drinking and had ended up losing their driving licence for a year.

Been Drinking have we sir?

Yes. There was absolutely no point in lying.

How many would you say?

Well, two maybe three . I did lie at this point

Ok we would like you to blow into this, Yeh? he moves the breathalyser towards my face

Oi Oi Oi I say, oh well this is it , I put my hands up. and laugh a little, because I know I’m done, and there is no way out. Their mood is quite cheery, perhaps because I am taking the whole thing on without hostility, They count me in and then to ten. But before blowing, I somehow decide that I will do it in style; I’m guilty! Why do a stuttering half arsed effort.- For their count of 10, I was an on song Artie Shaw, and I’m sure I detected respectful nods from a couple of them.

They hold the machine up and check the reading. There is a pause

OK your fine, Danke

I can’t understand, what is going on; I’m about to say, but I can’t be , I’ve had at least 7 Biers!

But they are not interested; they’re packing up and getting back into the van.

Notes to accompany BELA BAMA BARTOK by Eddie Farrell

2009-01-22T23:25:00.007Z

I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to that brilliant recording of Bartoks 6 Rumanian Folk Dances.

That was the first thing I said to Ivor Cutler, when I finally plucked up courage to go up and speak to him in the Street. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen him in Kentish Town; in fact on one occasion, quite by chance he had got on the Tube and sat down beside me; the friends I was with, kept nudging and pushing my arm, gesturing that I should turn and speak to him. But I couldn’t.; he’d been a hero of mine for over 25 years; It was too big a deal.

The Bartok recording was one that appeared on a 1999 EMI compilation, of Ivor Cutlers, favourite tunes; a sort of Desert Island Disc, which I bought when it was released, it has now become a favourite of mine. The sleeve notes didn’t give the musicians names; just that it was arranged by Szekely and recorded in 1930.

On an early summer evening in 2005, On route to meet a friend, I was heading down Leighton Road, towards Kentish Town Tube station, when I saw Ivor Cutler, some distance ahead ,shuffling along in front ,on the other side of the road ; He was alone and moving very slowly. I quickened my pace , and began thinking of something to say to him; Hello Mr Cutler, I have always been a great fan of yours, Hello, Ivor Cutler? I’ve got all your records. Hello Ivor Cutler, you have been a very big influence on me, Hello Mr Cutler, I have all your books. Oh God this is terrible, you can’t say that to him, he’s a hero of yours, Hello Ivor Cutler you are my hero.

During this my head had been slowly rotating to the right as I drew level with him and then ,continued on, leaving him behind as I turned onto Kentish town road and the entrance to the Tube. Fuck!

Turning sharply on my heels I strode back to Leighton Road, saw that he had reached the side of the Assembly bar, where I crossed and blurted out the first thing that came into my head.

Oh, he said with huge grin on his face, and putting a very shaky hand into his pocket, he pulled out a small note book; I’ve just found my book; months of work; I thought I’d lost it; I’d left it at the doctors. Would you like me to read something from it.

I was then treated to half an hour of Ivor Cutler poems, drawings and Stories, interspersed with general talk of his poor health, medication, sex, depression and suicide. He was very frail and a little wandered, but his eyes where sharp; full of life; curiosity. At one point I suggested that he might like to come into the Slade school of Arts Breakfast club as a guest:

Ivor Cutler: Oh, no I can’t do anything like that anymore; it takes up too much energy and I need all of that for my work.

Me: I suppose that’s just like Matisse

Ivor Cutler: Why, what’s wrong with your teeth?

Having remembered that I was meant to be meeting someone else, I was faced with the odd situation of having to cut short our discussion; he looked like he was just warming up.

Is it a Bouy or a Gurl your meeting?

A girl grabbing my hand in his, he lifted it to his mouth and kissed the back of it.

Pass that on from me.

Additional notes, i, by Eddie Farrell, accompanied by Cycle Song (P.Carr)

Jools Holland once said, that the only justifiable reason for speeding on the road, was to return your library books on time. Similarly there are few reasons (if any) for waving your countries flag, however, having been out of the UK for the past 3 months, I have felt a fluttering of appreciation build up inside of me for the NHS (of course) and also, free admission to major museums and Art collections.

Trying to find out where and when there is free entry into a major Art collection in Berlin, is a bit like booking a Ryanair flight and trying to stop the total column increasing every time you type something into the online form.

However, I am glad to report, I have cracked the Gemaldegalerie; so every Thursday evening from 6pm till 10pm I get myself down there and look. Looking at ART or KUNST in certain areas of Berlin, in my opinion is something you must learn, very quickly, not to do unless you want to go blind; quite simply there is too much of IT.

Further additonal notes, ii, by Eddie Farrell

So on Thursday evenings, when most of the audio guides and tourist tick books have been put to bed, the Gemalde becomes an afterhours store to pick through at your own pace. And by simply breathing and opening one's eyes, all the absolute academic lectures, hysterical myths and tittle tattle, that overshadow the paintings on the wall, can be swept aside.

In my first 3 visits I didnt get much past room 18, the first room. I was knocked out; not in whispering and hand grovelling reverence to some of the big boys of the Renaissance, but to the raw, honesty, intelligence and generosity that could be clearly seen in people working and pushing through their age. One might imagine that after countless reproductions in potted histories and flick books that these paintings by now might be empty souls. But for me, room 18, has an infectious electric hum that encourages the viewer, to just look.

additional notes, iii, by Eddie Farrell

But we click our cameras at them; construct careers and lecture tours around them, copy and compete with the technique and housing of them; worship them, take them for granted or ignore them. And on any other day of the week, we straddle through a skyfull, a pavementfull and every available surfacefull of KUNST. And whether it be spray painted on a dog shit or laminated 20 foot high on a city gabel; it all joins the same old clamour.

Perhaps some simple things have been overlooked?

Maybe we should all take a closer look?

The Barnes TV Guide

We interrupt this programme for a short account from the Barnes TV Guide, LIVE from the Elongated Iron Bar, Elephant & Castle.

It was only a theme tune and I thought it would grow on me with further listens, hints of epic spaghetti western baked beans and pork sausages in one sauce. What a palaver. Pallid Specsaver double vision. Tyne & Wear TV programming and Radio phone-in Q&A.

Tom Paulin sported the 'look, look topical revue' on Newsnight Rewind tonight. A full frontal shot trampled over his look-a-like sport shorts and funny hair do, creases ironed out with the harsh studio lighting, cut and blow dried to a neo-tungsten ham slicer. I know, I know. I couldn't believe it either. You know the sort, the kind you see tapered at the edges of any WHSmith foolscap.

And I was slightly disturbed by what followed; Jools Holland on Later supporting what looked like a cannonball just above the waistal region - north east of England and horizontal egg on toast repeat from Tuesday. I prefer to watch the egg run with the sound down these days.

Sub TV Plot A. Ghost drugs 1, 46a

I took a g-host of smoke-drugs, to inject, chew, stare-drug, smell, sawn-off nose-snort, 12 inch whacky, drops, dangle, mangle, Nag, Drag, Cluedo and sawn off wand-drugs. I exchanged the LOT! And happened to catch my short distance drug in Boots the Chemist. The optician sported an optical haze sock full of long distance triennial pitchers.

I didn't tell you I was a magician did I?

I waved my wand for Cluedo fixes and Backgammon Wall Faze. My lovely assistant allowed me to make rectilinear, a conservatory for costume changes.

Sub TV Plot B. Smoke Screens 2, 7 and 12

The soul? Can you feel it. Can you hear it stir inside the fix of the artery glo. Post box sized attendees of the Baize Bar bellow below in the heat-faze

The Botanical Motorway

Somewhere in the aluminium spoke that keeps the M25 spinning in traffic-glo, was LOT 38, pulverized TV wall brackets and 100 yards ahead a further negotiation was followed through.

Pub TV, 1 and 1/4 inch recess into the wall, bypass for the mega-pixels to irritate and whistle around in your Renault Espace. Think about the itching at the back of your eye balls every evening? After a day of deliveries in and around the hip-joint of Centrepoint and knee cap of the Millwall Tunnel? TV wont solve your problems.

Welcome to the official opening of the Wave Archive; the inaugural broadcast and recording [by Jenna Collins]

I would like to read a short extract from Local Anaesthetic by Gunter Grass.

"So simple, a wave machine: two pistons alternately exerting pressure on sea water, warmed to 72 degrees (20 minutes of calm followed by 10 minutes of storm). The naive principle is surf mechanized. (Excessive undertow is avoided by divergencies in the rhythm of the rising and falling pistons). Possibly the inventor watched children teaching a pond to make waves by throwing stones into it: now the easily serviced machine is functioning. It suffices to press a button: Wave Pool. Wave Pool!". This is where my interest in waves began, with the wave machines.

The structure of the archive will develop as things get added but at present it comes roughly in two parts. The first is a collection of wave memorabilia at references, again this splits into parts; general waves or the notion of waves, and documentation of specific waves. An example would be from a page in Len Deighton's Spy Story. First we have 'whipping up crested waves that awoke the subs' which is general, plural, then 'the same wave sucked and gurgled at its bow' which refers to a specific, individual, singular wave. These waves are fictional but apparently natural which would cause categorical divergencies of 4 and 5, and which could be followed by media, date, location; 6, 7 and 8. If we go back to the top of the tree the second order of things is work made about waves: all manner of things that relate to or come from thinking about waves.

So although today is the inaugural, opening statement, things, items are already in place.

I have given the false impression that I am interested in categorization and all the trappings of the archive - that I control, understand and master what I can not.

The archive; usually a collection of sanctioned documents in a specific location, but in the case of the wave archive it will be open, scattered. No logo, no naming and numbering protocol and no acid free paper.

And so I set out today with these thoughts, these plans - an absurd endeavor.

If I should ever think or feel I have succeeded in capturing a single wave, that I can hold it in completion after its moment has passed, the archive will close and all contents will be destroyed.

I wrote this on the no.48 bus. I was on my way to meet up with Eddie, Steven and Patrick to rehearse for Puskas on Broadway and needed new material. I overheard a conversation on the top deck of the bus between a couple and he was saying something along the lines of 'I'll soon get a job and drive you around'.

I delivered these words as a monologue with 'Lay down there, lay down there'. I dont know where that came from.

Workings out for my contribution to the song The Ballad of Broadway Market that myself, Eddie and Steven wrote for Puskas on Broadway. We each wrote something, my words overlapped Eddie's and worked quite well.

The final pages

"The Barnes Bun Architecture Biennale came about through a conversation

sometime in the Spring of 2005 with two former Slade School of Fine Art

students, The Ketchup Boys, Paul Carr and Patrick Loan, about placing work

in the world.

In 1978 I had a conversation with Braco Dimitrijevic about the Barnes Biennale,

the first international exhibition of modern art in Britain to take place in houses

in the Barnes area. The International Pavilion would have been in Riverside

Studios, Hammersmith, and the main show would have taken place in a series

of houses/pavilions around Barnes. For example: a Swiss family living in Barnes

would host a Swiss artist and a British household would host a British

representative, etc.

This idea was taken up by a Belgian curator sometime in the late

1980s; the title of the exhibition was ‘Chambre de Lit’.

The basic idea for the show never went away and knowing a few people in the

Barnes area I suggested [to the Ketchup Boys] that we make the Bun

Architecture Biennale in Barnes, SW13. The fact that Kurt Schwitters lived in

Westmoreland Road in Barnes and then moved to Westmoreland, Cumbria,

seemed appropriate."

What a couple of fine young men. Here are Paul Carr and Patrick Loan gracing the doortep of 43b; what was to be the Central Pavilion for the day of the Biennale.

We rang Bruce up on the day we erected 43b and he called round to see us. A regular highlight of the whole episode was meeting with Bruce, and more often than not the sun was always out in Barnes, with exception to the day we did 'Bun Rabbit Bun'.

Like we said, "We'll get by, without our rabbit pie", or words to that effect.

Eddie turned up to see us too, and an impression of me and Eddie can be seen talking by 43b in the photograph taken by Patrick from afar and that was eventually used for pages 6-7 of the BOOK: BUN Potential.

More photo opportunities popped up.

PROVOPOLIS

2005-08-12T15:46:00.010+01:00

We attended a performance night called Provopolis at the Keir Hardie Hall Working Men's Club in Norwich. The evening was billed as a 'live participatory event that connected the work of artists, writers and performers with the public within a social space'. I cant say what the other artists and their performances were like as once we got the coach started and it got quite busy, we couldnt really move about much from where we set up; by the bar incidentally, so we stayed there for most of the evening and did a terrible job at promoting the Coach Tour - we had a smashing time though!

Patrick: Back a bit, back a bit.

Paul: Left a bit, left a bit.

Paul: Watch it.

We did manage to get served at the bar, unbelievably. Patrick's drinking water because he's driving. I do think we look very smart and created a good impression.

Vogue.

Phew! We both had to take the weight off our feet at the end of the evening. I'd had too much to drink. I just wanted to sleep it off on the back seat of the coach. I quite liked the fact that the steering wheel looked more like a cymbal.

Continental Breakfast Tours INFO POINT

Roll up! Roll up! Come and get it.

This is the Ketchup Boys in full Tour Operating glory, in our efforts to drum up support for the Continental Couch Tour of which we were adopting the role of Tour Operators and contributing to what will be a return trip from London to Norwich on the 20th August. Eddie Farrell, Graham Hayward, Bryan Parsons, Gil Pasternak and Corinna Till had been successful in being selected for East International and invited us to work with them on this project, one of many strands for the work they included for East. Here we are outside Norwich Gallery.

Time was running out and we still needed 'bums on seats'. I dont know if an unsuspecting public were ready for us.

Patrick is chancing his arm for a cuppa while I compose myself before informing the public on what the Continental Coach Tour is going to be. I dont think I know, or come to think of it anybody else does. The meetings we'd had with 'the group' had been very productive as far as I was concerned and good spirited, and left me with a positive 'impression'. I think as soon as it came into practice I felt completely immobilised by the thought of having to put ideas into practice. Me and Pat also had to keep an eye on preparations for the Biennale. I think we did good.
