Saw her last night at the Queens Hall. Excellent stuff. Basically just talking over atmospheric, percussive tape loops, punctuated by her playing an electronic violin.
Her voice has a deeply hypnotic, mesmeric quality to it.
All this certainly wouldn't work if she had an irritating voice.
If Jonathon Ross had been the narrator, I'd have left after 5 minutes.
I'd never seen her before, but would heartily recommend her to my readers.
Some great angles on 9/11, beauty and NASA.
The trouble with the Queens Hall is that the temperature is within the realms of a blast furnace, and there are inevitable moments when your concentration lapses as you struggle to avoid nodding off. But overall, a top notch show.
Carrying on my avant garde theme I am following this up tomorrow by going to see Karl Heinz Stockhausen at the same venue.
Looks like we have a 3rd person for the "Park's Circus" Fringe show. An Irish bloke called Patrick Hyland has signed up. We now have an Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman. There's a joke there...!
Well, hopefully at least one over the course of the 70 minutes.
I'm looking forward to it now.
I've decided that we will all rock!
The End.
