Ritual performance with Ingrid Plum: Apiary Gallery, London

This Friday, 4th November I’m performing in a improvising duo with artist Ingrid Plum. I’ll be using turntable, analogue synth, bowed cymbal and electronics; Ingrid will bring her elongated annunciations, movements and play singing bowl.

The performance is part of a night called BURN MAGICK BURN which is showcasing works crossing of live art, ritual, sound, improvisation and performance-lecture. See the press release below for more info:

ARTIST DETAILS

ENGLISH HERETIC
English Heretic Present: Burnt Out – Fire Sermons, Fire Summons
Tonight English Heretic explore together the Buddhist concept of The Fire Sermon in the context of its Black Plaque recipients. The Fire Sermon – a metaphor for the burrning nerves of complete psychic capitulation epitomised by the suicides of Michael Reeves and Robert Cochrane; the schizophrenic Ian Ball’s act of royal treason. The Fire Sermon was made popular in the West by TS Eliot’s Wasteland. In 1925, Elliot wrote the Hollow Men, an allusion to the straw effigies of bonfire night, an allusion to his own mental breakdown.

GUY HARRIES + YUMI HARA CAWKWELL
Yumi Hara Cawkwell and Guy Harries perform another intense sound ritual around the theme of fire, using electronics, found objects, movement and voice. Otherworldy, engimatic, transformative, magical.

Christos Fanaras (analog synth-organ)
