EVERYTHING IS ILLEGAL London 145

Co-created by London-based sound artist Hardi Kurda and Melos collective (Vilnius), EVERYTHING IS ILLEGAL London 145 is a found score performance which was developed during Hardi residency in Vilnius in 2022. Hardi explored the meaning of illegalness through colleting stories from the city where the work perform. This time is about  London. Hardi deconstructed the London map through a transparent score and find a relation with the latest newspapers, radio and field recording from the same day of the performance, will be recorded by Melos vocalists. Hardi asked the singers to search for materials draw their attentions within the city during their visit in London before the performance. For example, tracking their walking map, record the sound from the city of conversations, and borrow lines from newsletters and samples from the local radio stations. These combination of the found materials became the musical score for the performance.
