heres a report from watmm.com Phil just got back from the London Sinfonietta concert, where they did interpetations of Boards Of Canada, Aphex Twin and Squarepusher tracks. The following tracks were played by them: pete standing alone by boards of canada afx237 v.7 by aphex twin port rhombus and the tide by squarepusher Here's what Phil had to say about it: "The boards of canada probabally worked best, fairly brittle compared to the original track. Aphex and Squarepusher was a lovely mess. It was a good concert, some beautiful John Cage prepared piano pieces(put the drukqs stuff to shame, by and large), the mira calix insect piece was really nice (really creepy video) and some mental videos, including Monkey Drummer by Aphex/Cunningham. Some stuff went on a bit, like the ligeti and stockhausen. not bad though. just a shame there wasn't more Aphex stuff, was looking forward to girl/boy or some of the SAW2 music. all in all a good night." |

heres a review, from the guardian: Rarely can Ligeti's Chamber Concerto have been applauded with such boundless enthusiasm. Part of an evening-long collaboration with Warp Records, the audience in the packed auditorium gave each movement a noisy approbation. The London Sinfonietta, conducted by Stefan Asbury, played with their usual commitment and precision, and despite the distorting effects of the amplification system, this was a visceral performance. The connections between the classical avant-garde and more popular forms of experimental music are long-established, and go back at least as far as Stockhausen's electronic works of the late 1950s and 1960s; but seldom have the Sinfonietta been able to make the most of those musical relationships, and tap into different audiences, as successfully as they did on Saturday. There was nothing compromised about the repertoire, with a visual realisation of Ligeti's Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes followed by works from Ives, Stockhausen, Cage, and Nancarrow. Warp's artists were represented in acoustic arrangements of tracks - from Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada - by classical composers David Horne and Morgan Hayes. There were visuals to accompany almost every performance, and none was more striking than the images of insects for Mira Calix's Nunu. Arranged by the sound producers and artists of Sound Intermedia, Nunu began by transforming the Sinfonietta into an ensemble of insects. String instruments produced cricket-like scratches and clicks that meshed with sounds of real insects creating a bizarre polyphony between the human and insect worlds. The music celebrated the hidden musicality of insect sounds, as a haunting, two-note refrain grew out of the percussive textures. But the piece was dominated by the violence of the visuals - images of teeming, crushed, and dead invertebrates that suggested a more malevolent world, for which Calix could find no musical counterpart. Horne's arrangements of Warp tracks transformed the electron |

Horne's arrangements of Warp tracks transformed the electronic energy of the originals into the world of acoustic instruments, most successfully in the textural invention in his version of Aphex Twin's afx237 v.7. Morgan Hayes captured an elegiac melancholy in his transformation of Squarepusher's Port Rhombus. For all the imagination of the visuals throughout the concert, there was rarely a sense that the images were actually integrated into the pieces of music. Instead of letting the "music be itself", as the programme promised, the visuals sometimes simply swamped the works in an excess of information. But the relentless energy of the evening created an infectious atmosphere, and Warp Works deserves to be more than a one-off experiment. |

Hmm. Pete Standing Alone is rather straightforward. I'm intrigued to hear what they do with afx and pearsquasher. There have been a lot of disappointed people coming away from this event. |

I think the night kinda picked when they played the Autechre Ganz Graf video. The sheer power of the visuals and volume coming through the speakers was pretty awesome and lets face it it got the most applause. It was good stuff all round, the interpretations were pretty hard to interpret if its anything to go by from all the people I spoke to afterwards about it. The whole Aphex, Squarepusher thing was more of a pull to be honest. No offence to the people who arranged the event but if you were coming for Aphex and Squarepusher you'd have been very dissapointed. But it was still an excellent night if somewhat misleading and cheaky in the way it was sold to the public. |

how´d you mean? beacuse they only played a few pieces by aphex, SP? What was "Port Rhombus" like? i can imagine the melody but was the percusion done as crazily as the origional? |

I'm enjoying the "two carlsberg, please" transaction in the bar. especially the part where the guy obviously returned to his seat after everybody else had alread sat down and had to excuse himself... "sorry, sorry". |

(some beautiful John Cage prepared piano pieces put the drukqs stuff to shame, by and large) uhm, NOT!!! :( |
||||||||
|

It's funny that the one track I thought would work well (Pete...) was completely messed up, but the one I thought wouldn't work (afx237) was actually a well executed interpretation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, what was that? Unless that file was misnamed I just heard Port Rhombus. Not that it was in any way recognisable. Barely any percussion, what a bizarre interpretation. |
||||||||

ftp://sinfon:ietta@echidna.no-ip.org/ seems like a wrong spelling but i tried variants. is this the right one? still can´t see shit |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

that is the correct link you posted, you still cant see them ? they are classical pieces, of the songs, they are ok, i d/l a few of them the monkey drummer starts off wild, then goes into classical GOOD LUCK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I used that link and downloaded a few of the songs. I couldn't think of a larger waste of my time, save actually going to London and shelling out my hard-earned to see this crap performed live. |
||||||||
|

Some of the pieces were truly originally and eye openers but like a say it was just sold on the Squarepusher, Aphex names. I think the classical guys should have been more aware of the demands of the public and were a bit selfish in their interpretations. To be honest I can't say I was that surprised that the percussion was so weak. I mean lets face it did the audience really expect there to be an excellent drummer who could do that shit at 220bpm, I don't think so. |

"I mean lets face it did the audience really expect there to be an excellent drummer who could do that shit at 220bpm, I don't think so." I would of thought the sensible way around it would be to have 2 or even 4 drummers (2 pairs) playing the drums as 2 parts. I understand synching could be a problem, but by taking everyother beat each they could probably do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm not saying that's what I expected, but here's an idea: Get two (or more drummers) to play the beats interleved. A bit like the old Latin clapping deal, where two people clap a rhythm that sounds fast, but both are actually clapping half as fast as the resultant sound. So, if two drummers manage 50 hits a second, then just shift one slightly so that he hits one the other guy is silent, and voila 100 bpm. Add more drummers and you get... a massive mess, well probably. If they could collaborate well enough it might just work. Crazee. |

Ceri JC, Were you there? Yeah I agree, still it was a sitting down affair - I guess thats always a problem with these things eh? |

martinhm, Did you get that jap monica from that Chris Morris video? They played that at the event, it was pretty wicked. |
||||||||
|
|

I thought afx237 sounded alot like I expected. Probably more like the infamous first Philip Glass interpretation of Icct Hedral, which Richard didn't like. The final version was far more faithful to the original. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

what? jap monica? I'm confused. |

He he :) Promo- No I was thinking about attending, but funds, lack of spare time off work and thinking that it wouldn't be so hot made me decide not to go. One of the things that made me confirm my view that it'd be hard for them to do a good cover was a record I got at the weekend of a classical orchestra covering classic rock music (rolling stones, beatles, elvis, etc.). About half the tracks sounded barely recognisable- literally to the point that if I didn't know what it was meant to be I wouldn't of been able to hazard a guess. I thought, if they can't do rock, how on earth will they manage with IDM? I'll reserve slating it entirely until I've DLed the MP3s. I imagine Pete Standing Alone would work quite well. |

It wasn't that bad, I enjoyed it on the whole, but it just had nothing to do with Aphex and Squarepusher thats all. |

Now seeing Squarepusher live back in 1998 before he blew up really big time was cool. |
