SUMMARY:Jan Jelinek + Stuart Bowditch
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £15 / £13 concessions.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nJelinek’s works deal with the transformation of sounds\, translating source materials from popular music into abstract\, reduced textures. Bypassing traditional musical instruments\, he constructs collages using tiny sound fragments from a wide variety of recording devices: tape recorders\, digital samplers\, media players and the like. The recordings are processed into repetitive loops that boil the original down to its essentials\, the source material becoming indecipherable in most cases. \nHe began releasing his work in 1998\, initially under the pseudonyms Farben and Gramm. In 2000\, his sound collages played in the Young Media Pavilion at the EXPO2000 world’s fair in Hannover. Over the following years\, he worked with artists like Sarah Morris and the German writer Thomas Meinecke\, collaborated with the Japanese improvisation ensemble Computer Soup and the Australian jazz trio Triosk\, and created audio-visual performances with video artist Karl Kliem at venues including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. In 2007\, with Andrew Pekler and Hanno Leichtmann\, he founded the improvisation trio Groupshow that refuses any repertoire and any limitation on performance duration. \nIn 2008\, Jelinek established the Faitiche label as a platform for his own experiments\, for joint projects\, and for work by musician friends. The releases include collaborations with the vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita\, Japanese sound artist Asuna\, Frank Bretschneider (Beispiel) and the work of fictional sound researcher Ursula Bogner\, whose scores\, drawings and writings have been presented and performed around the world. \nSince 2012\, Jelinek has been writing and producing experimental radio pieces for state broadcaster SWR that deal with fictional identities and soundscapes. Many of his radio plays have been honoured with awards. The theme of fictional and multiple identities runs through the whole of the Faitiche catalogue. Under the pseudonym Gesellschaft zur Emanzipation des Samples (GES)\, as Ursula Bogner\, or using his own name\, Jelinek’s oeuvre ranges from field recording collage to electroacoustic music to minimalistic drone. \nWhat these various works all have in common is improvised live processing of previously collected sound material. In his current live performances\, Jan Jelinek weaves diverse sound materials into Ecstatic Sound Collages\, as he calls them himself. \nhttps://www.folkwisdom.net/jan-jelinekhttps://faitiche.de/blog/2025 \nStuart BowditchStuart’s practice is located in places and communities that exist on the fringes\, both geographically and socially\, with a particular interest in the sonic landscape\, capturing overlooked and overheard noises and using sound as a documentative and creative medium. For tonight’s performance he’ll be playing an improvised set using only samples of sounds gathered from the Dedham Vale\, recorded as part of his Constable Ambisonic project that is documenting the sound of the locations of paintings by John Constable. \nwww.constableambisonic.co.uk@constableambisonic

SUMMARY:Brewhouse Wenesday Reels- Movie and Pizza Night
DESCRIPTION:Rob says\, ‘We’re almost at the end of our Australian Film season this August\, so this Wednesday 27th\, at 7:30pm at Queen St Brewhouse\, I’ll be screening a legendary and previously lost film called “Wake in Fright” (18) (1971)\, directed by Ted Kotcheff (Rambo: First Blood\, 1982) and written by Evan Jones. The film stars Donald Pleasence\, Gary Bond\, Chips Rafferty\, and Sylvia Kay. Initially released as “Outback” outside Australia\, “Wake in Fright” is a psychological drama about an English school teacher stuck in a rural Australian town surrounded by the overly friendly and sinister townspeople. Despite positive reviews\, the film was a commercial failure upon its first release and rediscovered by audiences when its original negative was found and restored in 2009. \nIn Tiboonda\, a remote town in the Australian outback\, a young middle-class British school teacher called John Grant (Gary Bond) leaves for the Christmas holidays to see his girlfriend Robyn but stops at a mining town called Bundanyabba (nicknamed “The Yabba” by locals) to catch a train to Sydney. When John arrives in The Yabba\, he is befriended by a local policeman\, Jack Crawford (Chips Rafferty)\, at a pub who keeps tempting him with alcoholic drinks and takes him to an illegal game of two-up. John places a bet and wins but goes back to increase his chances and loses everything. Now stranded in the town of Yabba\, John finds himself in the company of Clarence “Doc” Tydon (Donald Pleasence)\, a vagrant alcoholic and former medical practitioner who introduces him to the savage and degrading lifestyle in the outback. \n“Wake in Fright” faced controversy when it was first released with its portrayal of life in the outback\, e.g.\, binge drinking and gambling and a graphic scene where real kangaroos were shot and killed by locals. Director Ted Kotcheff defended the scene to point out the serious threat of kangaroos being hunted recklessly with consultation from the Animal Welfare organisations in both Australia and the United Kingdom to show the scene uncut. Since the film first release\, “Wake in Fright” developed a cult following and gained recognition as a truly great Australian film that was lost due to the master negative having gone missing. The film’s editor\, Anthony Buckley\, discovered the original film and sound elements in 2004 and rescued it from destruction. In 2009\, the film was restored and re-released at the Cannes Film Festival to widespread acclaim.

SUMMARY:Emma - Tymperleys\, Colchester
DESCRIPTION:Ever the matchmaker and never the match? So seems to be the case for Emma Woodhouse… \nAnd yet Emma remains more than content to help see that those around her are paired off into advantageous alliances for all concerned. In fact\, she fancies herself rather good in the role of matchmaker. But\, after an ill-advised union leads to heartbreak and bitterness\, can Emma learn the greatest lesson in love? That romance is not something that can be forced and the most propitious matches always make themselves… \nThis Summer\, critically acclaimed theatre company This Is My Theatre brings Jane Austen’s classic tale to life in a stunning one-act adaptation to celebrate the author’s 250th anniversary year. \nPacked with rivalries\, regrets and\, of course\, plenty of romance\, our production is sure to spread joy this summer! \n– \nRunning time: Approximately 85 minutes \nA high-octane bravura performance… This Is My Theatre have chalked up another triumph!” – Ingenue Magazine (on Persuasion) \n“Delightful in every way… An enchanting performance!” – Grapevine Live (on Pride & Prejudice) \n“An utterly gripping story retold with trademarker This Is My Theatre aplomb!” – Sussex Local Magazine (on Jane Eyre)
