Common Centrifugue is a piece developed out of a text which responds to the multiple synchronous temporalities of struggle and defeat, their loops and rhythms. Text and music evolve in a continuous dialectic, avoiding the pitfalls of simple mimesis or ekphrasis, and attempting to formally embody the tension between movement and inertia, as we bang our heads repeatedly on the supporting walls of big history hoping that something will break.
Common Centrifuge was commissioned by TACO! and Radiophrenia through Blurt - an experimental platform supporting artists to develop text-based works for live reading and performance, and synchronous live-to-air broadcast, and generously funded by the Outlands Network.
Egg Meat is Tooth Rust aka Laurel Uziell and Georgie McVicar, featuring the vocal folds resonating inside the throat of poet Danny Hayward. The source of such rarefactions does not mean that some relation of identity can be drawn between the speaker, the sounds, and their segmentation into words. Maybe the words are spoken, but they do not speak: chopped and screwed and slopped and crude, worms writhing themselves through the loam, at times surfacing as meaningful utterances, at others buried under dense sonic matter.
