2006-01-31 Pressmeddelande the 17 Av Och Med Bill 2006-01-31 Pressmeddelande The 17 av och med Bill Drummond, musiker, konstnär och författare. 13- 25 mars 2006. Bill Drummond, musiker, konstnär och författare, Skottland, är inbjuden av Fylkingen under mars månad 2006. Under två veckor kommer Drummond att sätta upp verket The 17. Ett delvis platsspecifikt musik- och performanceprojekt. En del ur verket kommer att ställas ut på Fylkingen. The 17 All känd musik har haft sin gång. All musik har blivit konsumerad och bytt, nedladdad och förstådd. Den har hörts förut, blivit samplad och återuppstått. Bill Drummond gör alla tidigare former av musik och musikskapande överflödiga och börjar om på nytt. The 17 är en kör. Deras musik har ingen historia, följer inga traditioner. Kören har sjutton röster. De följer inget libretto, texter eller ord; inga tids signaturer, rytmer eller beats; de har inga kunskaper om melodi, kontrapunkt eller harmoni. Varje framträdande har sitt eget partitur. Det finns 10 olika partitur. Dessa kommer att framföras av 17 för varje gång olika körmedlemmar på tio olika platser runt om i länet. Alla instruktioner om utförande finns skriftligen på respektive partitur. Verket görs med 170 medverkande; personer intresserade från Sverige och Stockholms regionen, som anmäler sog till att delta. Varje framträdande genomförs på en speciell plats. Det kan vara på Fylkingen eller i ett trapphus. I en skog eller på Sergelstorg. Bill Drummond (f.– 53) har en lång karriär som utforskande och experimenterande musiker och konstnär. Han är en av grundarna och medlemmarna i f.d. ambient house-/ samplings hit duon KLF. List etta hitmakarna skrev boken the Manual (how to have a number one the easy way). Efter avskedet från musikindustrin 1993, grundade Drummond The K- Foundation. The K- Foundation’s verksamhet bestod i att genom olika konstaktioner göra slut på de pengar som de tjänat in under KLF eran. För att bevisa att konst är pengar och att pengar är konst. Detta utfördes genom ett antal situations anpassade annonser i press och media. Samt extravaganta omstörtningar av konstvärlden, särskilt mot 1993 års the Turner prize. K- Foundation instiftade samtidigt ett eget pris. Priset delades ut till årets sämsta konstnär, vilket visade sig vara till samma person som hade vunnit det ursprungliga Turner prize för bästa konstnär. När deras plan att använda pengar som ett medel i konsten gick om intet, brände de den sista miljonen pund i kontanter. Pressrelease The 17 Bill Drummond will be presenting The 17 in and around Stockholm . The 17 is a choir. Every performance given by the choir may have a completely different line up. The music made by The 17, can be performed by people with extensive musical experience or none whatsoever. It is not popular music. It does not rely on melody, harmony or rhythm. It will never be recorded for posterity or broadcast. It will not be commodified by the music industry. There will be no audience, it exists only to be experienced by the performers. Between 13th and 25th of March 2006 Bill Drummond will be working with numerous line ups of The 17 on scores he has composed specifically for the choir. Members of the choir can be of all ages and from all walks of life. The performances will take place at funerals, schools, prisons, weddings, and in numerous other public spaces. Flykingen, Stockholm will be used as the hub of The 17’s activities in the region. It will act as a workshop, rehearsal room, art gallery and performance space. The exhibition will consist of large framed poster versions of the seventeen scores available to be performed by The 17. If you are interested in becoming a member of The 17 and think you have a voice that can hold a note and are willing to project it, please email [email protected] Remember, no previous experience necessary.

Stepping out and passing through the pillared porticoes was a Who's Who of Swiss society-the head of state, national sports icons, former ministers and army generals-all of whom had come to celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Werner Spross, the owner of a huge horticultural business empire. As one of Zurich's wealthiest and best-connected men, it was perhaps fitting that 650 of his "close friends" had been invited to attend the event, a lavish banquet followed by a performance of Romeo and Juliet. Defiantly greeting the guests were 200 demonstrators standing in the square in front of the opera house. Mostly young, wearing scruffy clothes and sporting punky haircuts, they whistled and booed, angry that the opera house had been sold out, allowing itself for the first time to be taken over by a rich patron. They were also chanting slogans about the inequity of Swiss society and the wealth of Spross's guests. The glittering horde did its very best to ignore the disturbance. The protest had the added significance of being held on the tenth anniversary of the first spark of the city's most explosive youth revolt of recent years, The Movement.

All musical instruments, all forms of recorded music, gone. A world without music. What is more, you cannot even remember what music sounded like or how it was made. You can only remember that it had existed, that it had been important to you and your civilisation. And you long to hear it once more. Then imagine people coming together to make music with nothing but their voices, and with no knowledge of what music should sound like.1 Bill Drummond’s work straddles the worlds of popular music, literature and art. Drummond is perhaps best known as one half of the massively successful dance act The KLF, who scored a number of single and album chart hits across Europe in the late eighties and early nineties.

  • The Jams' and the KLF's Invocation of Mu
    CHART MYTHOS The JAMs’ and The KLF’s Invocation of Mu [Received August 18th 2016; accepted September 22nd 2016 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.10.2.07] Jon Fitzgerald <[email protected]> Southern Cross UniversitY Philip Hayward <[email protected]> Kagoshima UniversitY Research Center for the Pacific Islands and UniversitY of TechnologY SYdneY ABSTRACT: The JAMs and The KLF, two overlapping popular music ensembles led by British multi-media performers JimmY CautY and Bill Drummond, were notable for both the success theY had with a batch of singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the complex mythologY theY constructed and celebrated in song lYrics, music videos, press releases and short films. KeY to their mYthological project was their association with the fictional lost island-continent of Mu (with the band name JAMs being an abbreviation for ‘Justified Ancients of Mu Mu’). The latter identitY was derived from Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus trilogY of novels in which the aforementioned “ancients” were a secret brotherhood involved in combatting the rival Illuminati, who originated in Atlantis. As the JAMS’ and KLF’s oeuvres progressed, aspects of Mu and Atlantis were synthesised by CautY and Drummond with elements of other actual and fictional islands. The article traces the initial imagination and representation of Mu in esoteric crYpto-historical literature, its rearticulation in Shea and Wilson’s counter-cultural novels and its invocation and function in CautY and Drummond’s work with The JAMs and The KLF.

  • BELGRADE 2015 This Is the Itinerary for the 25 Paintings World Tour Stop Off in Belgrade Serbia
    BELGRADE 2015 This is the itinerary for The 25 Paintings world tour stop off in Belgrade Serbia. Some of the events, times and places may be fine tuned over the days leading up to the beginning of the journey. 16 November 2015 – Monday: Drive from London to Spaghetti Junction, Birmingham, in white Ford Transit van with The 25 Paintings in the back. With me will be Tracey Moberly. I will exhibit The 25 Paintings under Spaghetti Junction. I hope that all of The 25 Paintings will float on the water where the two branches of The Grand Union Canal meet under the pillars of the junction. If the paintings sink, I will have to reconsider. Tracey will document this exhibition in photographs and maybe moving image. I may document it in words. I will also vandalise the ‘far wall’ of Tenzing Scott Brown’s gallery, with the graffiti BEST BEFORE DEATH. This will be the first public use of my strap line that I hope to use until I am unable to use it anymore. We will then drive back to London. I also have to pick up 25 A4 size canvases from John Jones, either on the way to Birmingham or on the way back. 17 November 2015 – Tuesday: I will make sure that I have my Carnet done for all the borders I have to cross in the following two days. I will load the van with everything that I am taking to Belgrade, Serbia. This will include: 1: The 25 Paintings. 2: One easel. 3: The 25 blank A4 canvases.

  • 42Nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron
    Sept 9 – Oct 2 Sept 23 – Oct 16 (page 4) (page 10) 2016-2017 Welcome to the opening of our 42nd SEASON Dear Park Square Patron, This year at Park Square Theatre is about “Getting Together.” Our 2016-2017 Season launches with a pair of comedies – each a little masterpiece in its own off-center realm. Consider this an invitation for us all to convene as community for some shared fun. America’s – and our world’s – current political/social environment, like theatre itself, thrives on conflict. While we might learn from a good fight, far too often we become obsessed or overwhelmed by what divides us. This theatre, and this season in particular, is devoted to discovering and celebrating what unites us – what pulls us together. To uncover what we can hold in common. Sometimes it’s a group laugh at a really dumb joke. Sometimes it’s a moment of unexpected empathy – the breath-stopping recognition that can expand our minds or swell our hearts. Thank you, truly, for coming together here – for this performance, in the same room as the gifted artists who can’t wait to share their delight in our common, if all-too- vulnerable, humanity. Let’s do it again soon! Yours, Richard Cook, Artistic Director C. Michael-jon Pease, Executive Director, CFRE 651.767.8482 | [email protected] 651.767.8497 | [email protected] OUR MISSION is to enrich our community by producing and presenting exceptional live theatre that touches the heart, engages the mind and delights the spirit. Live your dream. Or dreams, as the case may be.
