Edwyn and Toy Orchestra

This evening I am playing at Gesampt at Mint Lounge for Free for Arts festival, I went to Dafydd and James place and they had a toy keyboard, so they got me thinking about manipulating things to make music with. I researched the Modified Toy Orchestrahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erkV7gOv09M&feature=related and they buy toys for less than £1 and circuit bend them to make music with them, this clip shows it amazingly, Mine will be a little more low key, using the Bontempi keyboard from James and Dafs place, and a Ukulele and afew other things, shall go on the hunt and, well improvise with what I have collected today, going to search Early learning centre, music shops and querky places in Afflecks palace, and then we can muck around with my findings.

I'm also trying to make a film for the event I have one for the thing we did at Sand Bar when we planned an event called 3 minutes, and I banged a drum and screamed performing Be Your Husband by Nina Simone really cut down and tribal, I painted myself white and projected a film of the guiness add backwards, so it was little like drowning, I did the same performance for the PR launch for Free for Arts Festival, just without the film.

So I'm thinking I will start my slot with a couple of films to lets us set up, then bang the drum sorted.
