MAGENTA FACES
Signal as the enemy: ordered noise, consumable, repeatable,

mass-producible.

Noise-music as the tradition of dismantling noise-order, negating

signal, often on stage, often at night, often male, often loud,

often pissed, often rollies in the beer garden, often

disappointing, often highly coded and attended by a bourgeois

cultural elite.

We’re using this opportunity to promote MAGENTA FACES, a new mould

for the new humanity: open mic (no)talent (no)contest in the

spirit of “Hey Hey It’s Saturday”. Post-pleasure and post-irony.

A potentially infinite roster of performers take a moment in the

lime-light. At the first hint of legibility, convention,

confidence or competence they are gonged off with an oversized

magenta mallet. The worst performer plays longest.

MAGENTA FACES: the impossible parade of rainbow alterity,

resulting in a constantly sounded gong: the worst version of James

Tenney’s “Having Never Written a Note for Percussion” ever.
