Desolation > Delirium
Posted 4th Apr 11 by Tom in News
Indifference. Contentment. Bliss. Rapture. Jubilation. Delirium.
No, not the nicknames of the Festival team, but six of the many moods of Cybraphon – the BAFTA Award-winning musical furniture that’s coming to London on Thursday.
Described as an ‘autonomous emotional robot indie band’ by its creators FOUND, this is Cybraphon’s first trip outside its native Scotland. So be nice. Plug it on Twitter or talk behind its back on Facebook and Cybraphon will play a tune using over 60 mechanical beaters and instruments hidden within a polished wood and glass exterior.
What’s more, FOUND have produced a special composition for the Festival with help from former Arab Strap frontman Aidan Moffat: an interpretation of J.G. Ballard’s short story Studio 5, The Stars.
This is what BBC Culture Show had to say about it last year.
Cybraphon is in residence from 7 to 20 April at Richmix, Bethnal Green Road. Visiting hours are 11am-5pm and it won’t cost you a penny.
FOUND play mixed-bill robotics night Man/Machine on 19 April at Richmix.
