Expo Plymouth Launch party

Originally uploaded by Poo Bar.

Expo Plymouth took over the Terrace Cafe for their launch party - with lots of ‘experimental jazz’. This was about as close as was comfortable for me - very loud, electronic random noise not really being my scene.
Still it was a lovely evening and we had a great meal at the Village Restaurant in the Barbican beforehand.

Expo Plymouth, starts at 8.30pm on Friday 22nd at Terraces Café, Plymouth Hoe.

Organised by Sonic Arts, i-DAT and a host of others

The Expo festival is a free and fun annual event. It is the hub and playground of the experimental music and sound art scene in the UK and beyond.

Kicking off a packed weekend, legendary saxophonist Evan Parker plays with Behaviour Ensemble, a large group of performers playing bizarre electronic instruments, in what promises to be an unmissable sonic adventure. Starting at 8.30pm at Terraces Café, Plymouth Hoe, this show promises to be a stirring and truly beautiful experience.

From here, take a short walk to The Tinside Lido to witness a stunning sound and light show by the critically acclaimed Louise K Wilson in partnership with Pyramid Presentations between 9.30pm-10pm. The performance and installation explores the hidden aquatic soundscape of Plymouth and includes the sounds of fighting hermit crabs, a dogfish feeding frenzy and sub-aqua naval sounds.
