On Tuesday 19th April 2011 at The Architecture Foundation on Tooley St in London, Ski Oakenfull and Palm Skin Productions performed a live set featuring reconstructed versions of all seven Musicity tracks with special visuals created especially for the night, alongside a DJ set from Nick Luscombe.
A track from my Rising Son LP, 'Let Me Be' has been included by Nick Luscombe in an iTunes Nu Jazz Essentials Compilation.
It's a great selection and costs £19.75 to buy all the songs.
On Tuesday 19th April 2011 at The Architecture Foundation on Tooley St in London, Ski Oakenfull and Palm Skin Productions(link is external) will be performing a live set featuring reconstructed versions of all seven Musicity tracks with special visuals created especially for the night, alongside a DJ set from Nick Luscombe.
A unique online platform, founded and curated by DJ Nick Luscombe of Flomotion(link is external) and creative strategist Simon Jordan (Jump Studios(link is external)), Musicity(link is external) seeks to encourage people to explore the city musically, architecturally and experientially by commissioning musicians to compose original tracks in response to a building, site or piece of the city that inspires them.
The artists' recordings can then only be heard by physically visiting these locations and streaming the tracks through a purpose built smart phone app - making urban exploration a vital component of the musical experience - the 'transaction' necessary to hear the artist's direct responses to the built environment.
This exciting informal evening of live performance, DJs, conversation and drinks seeks to explore the ways in which artistic expression can be used to bring a new dimension to the way we experience cities and the world around us - from the unique central London vantage point of the AF's rooftop Skyroom.
