\nCurated by Edith Doove.

\nLyricide: Prototype 0.1<\/p>\n
\nNurse, Philip May and Harrisson played at the Singel in Antwerp, for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153De Donderdagen\u00e2\u20ac\u009d event curated by Edith Doove.
\nNurse played a 40 min mix of visual artist sound works while May and Harrisson animated the screen with type and texts.
\nIt was our first attempt at reworking the Lyricide project we started 2 years ago for a projet curated by Komplot called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Volle-Vox\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at a Brussels theatre. Local visual artists where asked to perform a live or show a video.
\nVolle-Vox was based on ideas elaborated by the Lettrists, a French mouvement founded by Isidore Izou in the early 50\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.
\nWe got hold of 2 record collections containing a lot of this kind of work and put a sound mix together and a live visual animation using illustrator.
\nThe latest versions of Lyricide have taken the experiment further with May bending the computer to allow more flexibility and a smoother manoeuvre of images.

\nWe played in front a full audience, with many young people\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6(a school teacher had hired a coach and brought his students to de donderdagen, with the historical pieces played in Lyricide, they sure got a large spoonful of sound culture in one go!) \ud83d\ude42

\nThen we went to see Anesiadou, Bryssinck & Peeters (B), who played a prototype too:
\nSaturna doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sleep, she waits\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6, a fantastic playful performance using acting, voice playback and sound, based on silent movies from the 20\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. After a short introduction a story is told by the thre actors on stage. Eventually the three slip into the characters of the story. The performance plays on the notion of editing: the action is cut up, re-wound, re-played, repeted, at moments sound played on high speakers corresponds to the action on stage. Keep an eye out for next performances!

\nLater Dj Carl Marx and Nurse played some happy tracks in the bar.
