Gemdays 2009


John Richards @ GEMdays, Huddersfield, 28/01/2009
D. Konstrukt
The opening night sees electroacoustic artist John Richards take to the stage, a space filled with DIY electronics, wires, candles, a meat grinder, silver wig, mysteriously modified baked bean tins and other paraphernalia. The set up looks great. John pads quietly under a big screen and onto the stage.

Futurist musicians


Manifesto of Futurist Musicians
Balilla Pratella
