our promotion video, made in may 2006


a documentary of our residency at cuerden valley park in July 2006


filmed by azin seraj. documentation of an improvised performance at the cornett building, university of victoria (canada) as part of theybreakinpieces: collision interventions and performed archive for the collision symposium 2006

theybreakinpieces are three uk-based artists who are involved in multiple forms of cross-disciplinary collaboration. we are currently investigating a range of environmental interactions conducted through the media of conversation, improvised performance, and audio-visual recording technologies. these interventions take place in a wide range of urban and rural environments providing opportunities to explore the collision of localized academic, social and geographical settings. we have received multiple grants from the arts council of england and other funding bodies for activities that include the creation of site-specific durational performances and performative lectures, as well as the delivery of workshops and symposiums on collaborative live arts practices.

A Middle Sex





May 21 2008 5:33 PM

here it is!
The first recording of A Middle Sex as a three piece.
It was recorded live at the Klondyke Club, Levenshulme, Manchester, on that memorable night of Firday 18th April.
The bill was Beach Fuzz, Trinity, A Middle Sex, Temperatures and Slasher Risk. All bands have a myspace page, except for Trinity who can be contacted vire www. myspace. com/lorgenstein.
The track recorded on our page from that night is a segment of a 8 minute piece we call 'pat your 14'. It was recorded by James from Temperatures using Bi-Nueral microphones.
Enjoy......

Slasher Risk

Slasher Risk are a boy/girl duo from Brooklyn, NY. Part brain dead beast, part mermaid. Desolate, metallic wrong-side-of-the-track atmospheres, kraut/garage jams and on their new LP ' Triple Jesus', zoned out, beautiful dueling psych guitar in the vein of Charalambides/Tom Carter project stuff.
BZZZ!


Temperatures

Another duo, this time from London. Totally incredible merge of free drumming, weirdo bass and vocal, hell hole abyss/Skynet electronic landscapes and serious WTF rhythmic jams. Hard to pin. In the words of musical grandad Thurston Moore on their LP 'Ymir' - "just play the fucking record and that's all the information you need".


Beach Fuzz

Levitation act courtesy of Nick Mitchell, Barry Dean and Tom Settle. Reaching an apex in the mind of the third ear via tribal drumming, guitar blowouts, organ drones and monged vocal magic ascension. Something of Boredoms and Skaters, but for sure - They are Beach Fuzz. Releases on Lotus Birth and Golden Lab.


Trinity

Enter the world of candle lit basement meetings, alien existance, pentagrams, secret handshakes and ouija board action. Are these 6 men the Free Masons of psych rock? Ash Ra Tempel/Circle face melts, walls of drone and terrifyingly, the ghost of Luciano Pavarotti.


A Middle Sex

Neither Nor. Out of the jungles of M19 comes chamelion drumming, schizophrenic guitar moves, abused electronics/vocals and 'Heathen Earth' era Throbbing Gristle atmospheres. Releases of Blackest Rainbow and Slightly Off Kilter. New shiz soon.

And, lo, they took abstract art out to a little house in the middle of nowhere to raise some children. The video says more than a thousand books could, Paul. Good show.

what an interesting set of circumstances video documentation allows....i had the volume muted by chance and was flipping through the videos. if i didn't know better i'd definately say you guys look like bunch of crazies. maybe some time soon i can have the chance to catch a performance. (at asu maybe? there is supposedly a crazy little spot - decision theatre for a desert city) i'll let the thought percolate...keep working hard.
