THE LOWEST FORM OF MUSIC
October 22-24 at Beaconsfield, 22 Newport St, London, SE11 6AY
The Lowest Form Of Music is the first ever event in the UK dedicated to
the work and influence of the legendary Los Angeles Free Music Society
(LAFMS). This weekend of performance, film screenings and discussion
will explore the legacy of one of the avant-garde's great unsung
movements.
The missing link between the far out West Coast freakscene that spawned
Zappa and Beefheart and the worldwide explosion of DIY experimental
culture, LAFMS is a must check for all those with an interest in
underground alternative culture. Using humour, collage and buckets full
of the bizarre, this collective kicked the early 70s out of its
post-Manson nightmare and into the avant-gutter of a pre-punk endzone.
The influence LAFMS has had on the explosion of international DIY
culture is immeasurable. Explicitly acknowledged as a motivation for
the emergence of the Japanese noise scene in the 1980s, as well as
being cited specifically by the likes of Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth)
and John Olson (Wolf Eyes), the collective that emerged in LA in 1973
resulted in countless adventurous music lovers tasting the delights of
a new kind of creative freedom and getting out there and doing it for
themselves.
The Lowest Form of Music will take place over an extended weekend at
Beaconsfield in South London, a venue "distinguished by its history of
providing a forum for extraordinary events and exhibitions". The
programme will feature a host of LAFMS artists and groups presenting
performances, talks, exhibitions, films screenings and workshops.
Talks and panel discussions around LAFMS and its worldwide influence
will feature artist and critic David Toop, the artist Sav X aka Edwin
Pouncey, Japanese noise music critic Takuya Sakaguchi, Incapacitants'
Toshiji Mikawa and artist, composer and original LAFMS member Tom
Recchion.
