IF you’re feeling that music has become stale and your ear lobes need livening up then this Sunday in Southampton you have two opportunities for a refresh.
Bang The Bore at the Hobbit is an evening of experimental music while Log Jam 3 at The Hamptons will provide solo musicians an opportunity to improvise.
Seth Cooke hosts Bang The Bore and his ethos is based on Brian Eno's mind expanding thought: “what more could music be?”.
“People have a fixed idea about music,” Seth explained, “and there’s methods of working with music that need exposure.”
He has gathered five acts from the Southampton area which approach music with a fresh and experimental attitude. Headlining is Bristol-based Teambric who is signed to Portishead’s label Invada.
Across the city The Hamptons will experience the third Log Jam; a night where music is given a twist of the creative juices.
Organiser Barney Lanman is aiming to get Southampton’s musicians, artists and thinkers to break free of their inhibitions and the shackles of having to perform to a paying audience: “People can come to Log Jam and draw, play music, listen, look, drink, talk without any of it seeming inappropriate.”
Both events have free entry and bring a sense of creative freedom to the area.
