Martin Bartlett Sunday Social – Matinee

Martin Bartlett Sunday Social – Matinee

Sunday, 19 May 2019, 2.00pm

Food, sound, footage and music to launch two new releases on Jennifer Lucy Allan’s Arc Light Editions, by the neglected composer (of mainly electronic music) Martin Bartlett, featuring Luke Fowler, Dale Cornish and 38b (Eva Rowson and Luke Drozd).

The afternoon will include an interpretation of his piece One Piece For Everyone by Eva Rowson and Luke Drozd. One Piece For Everyone was performed for the Western Front’s second anniversary in 1975, a composition where he prepared and cooked a cauliflower curry on a table connected to a hand-built synthesizer, while reading from texts on food. When the curry was cooked, the piece ended, and everyone was fed.

While the curry is consumed, archive footage of Bartlett will be screened by documentary maker and musician Luke Fowler, who made the Martin Bartlett documentary Electro-Pythagoras, and curated and edited the two collections of his work on Arc Light Editions.

Dale Cornish, son of Croydon like Bartlett, will then perform the tongue-in-cheek spoken word and sound piece Three Songs, with backing from Fowler.

Ticket price includes lunch.
