Big City Orchestra
30th anniversary show
(first-ever in London)
Presented by Entr’acte
Big City Orchestra (in its many phonetic guises) is a long-running art/anti-art group based generally in California. They have an ever-rotating cast of musician and non-musician members. Since its formation in 1979 BCO sailed through the cassette culture of the 1980s and ’90s with about 130 hour-long releases on over 100 labels. Their prolificacy continues unabated via regular contributions to several regional radio shows, most of which are also streamed online via ubuibi.org
"Pardon my early exit; Hope you survive!" continues the sonic experiments that had started and developed with the Devotchka.s Conundrum project. Mixing analogue and digital equipment, electroacoustic techniques with electronics, toys and circuit-bent objects with vocals, noise with visuals; hearing becomes a spiderweb to capture the other senses.
