SUMMARY:Ex-Easter Island Head
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £12 / £10 concessions.Doors open 7pm\, starts 7.30pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nEx-Easter Island Head are a UK-based experimental musical collective composing and performing music for solid body electric guitar\, percussion and other instruments. The group plays multiple electric guitars augmented through mechanical preparations and extended techniques\, creating hypnotic performances rich in repetition\, shimmering drones and melodic invention through purposefully limited means. \nTheir records and live performances have received significant critical acclaim from the likes of The Wire\, Pitchfork\, the Quietus and the New York Times. \nFavourably compared to the likes of Steve Reich\, Glenn Branca and John Cage\, the groups’ music has been praised for its mixture of percussive drive\, emotional warmth and playful experimentation. They have performed in venues ranging from the tiny Scottish island of Iona to a 150-year-old brewery in Berlin\, with major festival appearances including ATP\, Supersonic and Le Guess Who? Collaborators have included the BBC Philharmonic\, composer Arnold Dreyblatt and musicians Laura Cannell\, Charles Hayward and Andre Bosman in the group Whistling Arrow. \nTheir library music releases Mechanical Landscapes 1 & 2 released by EMI/KPM have seen the group’s work used internationally for television and radio productions\, whilst the groups’ own Large Electric Ensemble projects have seen the core quartet joining forces with forward-thinking musicians to make ambitious large scale performances across the UK and EU. \n“Free flowing genius” (The Guardian) \n“Churning pulses\, alternate tunings and dense harmonic worlds… all the strings being heard at once” (The New York Times) \n“Repetition and rumbling resonances bringing to mind Rhys Chatham’s seminal works with tone and John Cage’s rhythmic sensibilities” (Pitchfork) \n“A three chord punk mission statement turned into a neo-classical manifesto”(The Wire) \n“Rarely do beauty and urgency come quite so tightly intertwined” (The Quietus) \n“You must see this group. They are minimalist noise art but come on like entertainment. Absolutely captivating\, classy\, beautiful and sublime” (Stewart Lee) \nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfn2clPmu7kddx7jjNE7E6g

SUMMARY:Wonderful Wednesdays - Ben Moor: Three Thing Day
DESCRIPTION:Pay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm\, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience \nA comedy concerning affinity\, vertigo and bad phone reception. \n“I have always found that arriving somewhere early allows more time to daydream.” \nHave you ever had one of those full days where you have something in the morning\, something else in the afternoon\, and yet another thing in the evening? \nBen has the opening of his new work later – A Periodic Table of The Elephants in the Room – but before that he has to do a spot of babysitting\, and before that there’s a funeral. \nA single day can encompass the past\, present and future; friends\, family and work; the ridiculous\, the moving and the inspirational. Like life. \nThere’s talk of scones and sconces\, hammerhead spaniels\, the wool cycle\, and gullibility; it’s a story that’s dense with one-liners and jokes that are often daft and occasionally baffling\, intricate flights of whimsy\, and surreal ideas and imagery. \nThis is a work-in-progress performance. \nBen Moor has been producing oddball storytelling shows for over 30 years. He is the creator of Elastic Planet and Undone for BBC Radio\, and has appeared in Knowing Me\, Knowing You\, The IT Crowd and The Queen’s Gambit. \n“Ben Moor\, for my money\, is the Ken Campbell/Spalding Gray of my generation\, a natural storyteller who blurs the boundaries between comedy\, theatre and performance art.” STEWART LEE \n“Ben Moor is an English Wes Anderson. His dulcet tones are a paintbrush filling his world with a bright pastel colour palette.” \nBROADWAY WORLD on WHO HERE’S LOST?

SUMMARY:Raku Club - Hand Building\, Session 1
DESCRIPTION:**Please Read Full Description Before Submitting Your Order** \nThis is an OPTIONALpart one of a two-day Raku Club – delivered in partnership with Cuckoo Farm Studios. Makers with more experience can just attend the second session and bring your own biscuit-fired work to glaze and fire in the Raku process.  \nSession 1: Raku Club – Hand Building Session (optional). Venue: Colchester Makerspace.  \nSession 2: Raku Club – Communal Firing Session (booked separately). Venue: Cuckoo Farm. We supply all the Raku glazes\, materials and fire — you just need to bring your ceramics! The process has limits in terms of object size and suits objects that are not too big. A H200mm standard vase form is approximately the largest that can be managed safely. \nRaku is a rapid low-firing process that is inspired by the traditional Japanese Raku firing. Contemporary Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat around 1000 centigrade and placing it into containers with combustible materials such as sawdust. Once the materials ignite\, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colours in glazes and clay bodies. The thermal shock of this also produces cracking/crazing\, producing unexpected outcomes. \nIf you have any questions regarding the course\, please email: hello@makercampus.co.uk  \nPlease read our cancellation/refunds policy: www.makercampus.co.uk/refunds-policy \nJoin Our Creative Community: Enjoy up to 50% off classes and 24/7 access to our space and equipment. Memberships start at just £15 per month. Learn more: www.makercampus.co.uk/membership \nNew to Colchester Makerspace? We’re a community workshop with ceramics\, printmaking and a vibrant program of classes.
