"Dirty Electronics at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), London, February 2011; and preparation for the event at One Thoresby Street, Nottingham, and P W Circuits, Leicester. Music Dirty Electronics. Video Emma Knight and Andy Hill.The composer and instrument maker John Richards takes up temporary residence in the gallery with Solder and Score, a unique participation opportunity for visitors to the ICA. Over the course of five days, workshop attendees will build a large patchwork quilt-like instrument and co-write a musical score that will culminate in a group performance. Referring to his process as Dirty Electronics, Richards conjures electronic phenomena at odds to those found in today’s mass produced digital culture and utilises characteristics such as designer trash, hand-made, ready-made, hacked, bent, fedback and kitsch in the process.
For Live Weekends: Notation and Interpretation, the workshops will immerse attendees in the interplay between process and performance beginning on the workbench, co-devising the modules that will form the ‘instrument’‚ and then extending onto the ‘stage’."
