SOUND/TEXT

Capitol K + Amy Prior and Trinie Dalton + Simon Bookish + Pil and
Galia Kollectiv + Emma Hedditch + Frances May Morgan

Wednesday 20th April, 8pm
Spitz, 109 Commercial Street, London, E1
£5

A group show from musicians, writers, film-makers and curators
crossing geographical and genre boundaries. This global collaboration
of sound and text from cities celebrates the contemporary urban experience.

Featuring:

Capitol K collages together dictaphoned urban field recordings - from
Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Barcelona, Tai Pei - and fuses them with
electronic and acoustic sound (guitar/Arabic lute), vocals, text
fragments and a pop sensibility.

Los Angeles-based writer Trinie Dalton and London-based writer Amy
Prior read short fiction set in their home cities from new
collections: ‘Lost On Purpose’ (an international, border-crossing
collection of fiction from cities), ‘Wide-Eyed’ (Akashic Books/Little
House on the Bowery Series ed. by Dennis Cooper) and a new London
fiction collection. Also includes the screening of a short film: ‘The
Slow Ones’ is a haunting portrait of the fast track to love in London
in the slow post-college years - a collaboration between writer Amy
Prior, musician Capitol K and artists/curators Pil and Galia Kollectiv.

Live performance of a new text-based piece by cult musician,
ex-librarian Simon Bookish. Notorious for his exuberant live shows,
Bookish is one of the UK’s most unusual artists, effectively fusing
new wave pop and electro with a background in contemporary classical and
experimental music, treading a fine line between dance floor sensation
and performance art chaos.

DJ Frances May Morgan (editor of music magazine Plan B)
plays foreign pop.

City short film programme curated by London film-maker Emma Hedditch.
