(Fri 30th November / 8pm / £5 adv)
Three wildly different 'Eccentronica' spirits play a Winter special at the Cube. Presented by Qu Junktions.
Goodiepal is a strange and most wonderful thing, and is just one of many monikers for Parl Kristian Bjørn Vester. He recently left his home in the Faroe Islands and took up residence at 2c Garner Street in East London to give music lessons, concerts and fix mechanical and electrical objects to anyone who knocks on his door between 9am and 10.10am. As a composer, computer hacker, nurse, lecturer/academic, sound designer, and close ally of arch pranksters V/VM, he occupies a unique and surreal territory. His performances are also impossible to categorise but might resemble live art, a lecture, or a DJ set depending on your viewpoint. Birds, whistling, planets, vinyl and philosophy might all feature. He played two sets at Venn 07 and rewards the curious.
http://brainwashed.com/vvm/micro/parl/index.htm Lawrence English is a musician, media artist, label-runner and writer based in Brisbane, Australia. His immersive combination of digital soundscapes and minimalist visuals is practically purpose-built for the Cube. His compositions traverse the interface between gentle ambience, musique concrete and seering noise. We welcome him back to the Cube for the second time.
