Yaxu - Crowdfund for Spicule

Crowdfunding video for an album called “Spicule” - an album where you support making the music, and also a way to make music.

Spicule was created using software made by Alex McLean (with some friends) called Tidal Cycles (that's what he's playing around with in the video). If you joined the pledgefund you could join live streaming sessions and watch how to build rythms with the software and see how Alex created the rhythms and patterns with code for Spicule.

May 2016 Stanage Edge, Derbyshire.

The Machinery by Caroline Radcliffe & Sarah Angliss

" To anyone interested in the relationship between music and automation, The Machinery is a fascinating work. Devised by women working in the Lancashire mills, the steps of this nineteenth-century ‘heel and toe’ clog dance directly mimic the repetitive sounds and movements of cotton mill machines, Radcliffe and Angliss take it back to its industrial context, as they juxtapose it with found sounds and video fragments."

Performance film exhibited as part of the Marvellous Mechanical Museum at Compton Verney, 30 June 2018 - 30 September 2018.

Recorded 12 November 2016 at Algomech 2016, Sheffield
