And My Band Of Lonely Objects
P.A.R.T.S. Graduation Festival MA STUDIOS
A pride of lions, an army of ants, a school of fish and my band of lonely objects. As we play we make an epic collage of the perils of bounce houses, baffled objecthood, a series of attempts at belonging and of buoyancy. In lyrics I look for appearances of a heart and it appears the organ is the most majestic instrument.
‘Epic collage’ is a musical term and “epic collage artists are commonly defined by their ability to decontextualise recognisable samples (such as vocal stems) and provide them with a seemingly conflicting sonic backdrop which thusly results in a mashup (or mess-up) that strives to be greater than the sum of its parts”.* I am someone to whom they say ‘every time I see a slide I think of you’, and that seems quite decontextualised, and that seems quite a decent place of commencement.
In this easygoing tragedy, comedy haunts me and I like to play along.

Upon request of the STUDIOS students the ticket income of the performances will be entirely donated to Living Stipends for Palestine, an initiative from Mophradat, supporting Palestinian artists affected by the current crisis with a 6-month stipend.
Each evening, after the performances, there will be PARTS t-shirts and scarves for sale. The profit will go directly to the same fund.
