Extract from text written by Rachel:
What exactly is it?
The event is planned as a one hour live performance, during which time we will all perform in the same space, at the same time. We will all start at the same time and finish at the same time.
By 'perform' we mean that you are free to create or express yourself in any way you should choose. Sometimes it is easier to describe performance as an artistic intention. You are free to behave in an intentionally artistic creative way for the duration of the hour-long event.
There will be a lot of different ways that participants might choose to perform. Some of the artists participating will be making sound art, using equipment. Others may choose to bring props, or particular outfits to wear and to use as they perform. Others will be performing through movement and/or dance. Others might decide to perform just as they are. If you have a specific performative intention you wish to carry out, that is fine. Our goal is that we all work together in the same space for the hour duration, and see what entails.
Venue:

Recordings
Track 2 is composed from subjective recordings of each event **, sediments of sonic shadows from p(art)y Here & Now LIVE I.-III.
Every new event will be added in the mix, in that sense this track will stay here in this state only in between each new event.
** The individual layers so far are from very subjective perspective of alfa00 (sound entity of Slavek Kwi) and DO NOT contain all participating music / sounds, only sonic shadows seeping in via detectors of alfa00 during session. These recordings are comparable to distorted memories, only to keep energy and celebrate our adventures ...
Track3: contemplation "about" all passing events and also "about" events to pass in the future in kwatarese music-like abstract meta-language.
