SOUNDNETWORK & BURNEVERYTHING: LONG LIVE PHYSICAL MEDIA!
Saturday 16th May 2009 11.00am - 6.00pm
Live interactive installation / performance
Nexus Art Café, Dale Street, Northern Quarter Manchester, Opposite Picadilly Records
SoundNetwork are collaborating with design studio BURNEVERYTHING to explore
analogue and digital media's relationship, in design and sound in an increasingly unsustainable and unstable present.
The installation / performance will allow festival goers to produce their own personal print
and create a unique live sound piece which will only exist in a one off live performance and as a physical recording.
The 'micro-recording plant' will be operated by you and the PHYSICAL MEDIA machinists and key
guest sound artists curated by SoundNetwork & BURNEVERYTHING.

Africa Oye announce dates
Break out your Picnic gear as Oye warms up.
Every year I promise that I'll get my blanket ready and head for Sefton Park for Africa Oyé, but every year I turn up and have to sit on the grass but not this year (I hope). I'll also have to make sure I turn up early so the queues at the food stands aren't to long but there is plenty of time as Africa Oye 09 is on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2009 - 12:30pm-9:30pm on both days and it's Free
Manchester Theatre in Sound - MANTIS
A series of performances on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th March, Manchester
MANTIS (The Manchester Theatre in Sound) presents several concerts of electro-acoustic music each year, and aims to promote, disseminate and perform new works from composers based at The University of Manchester. Facilities at the Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama allow, among other things, for the diffusion of work on a 40-loudspeaker sound system in a 350 seat concert hall.
MANTIS has run the festival in co-partnership with organisations like Sonic Arts Network EXPO, taking the festival to numerous venues in Manchester, such as the Victoria Baths. More recently hosted guest distinguised composer Francis Dhomont at his 80th birthday and focused on themes like MANTIS: South-North, including music from Latinamerican composers and a first MANTIS call for pieces which received 186 submissions from all over the world.

Purgatory St Lukes Church
Purgatory is a horror performance set in St. Luke's Church on Friday the 13th of March.
The story of five ghosts trapped within the grounds of the church will be told. Each tale stripped down to its raw emotional impact.
These original short pieces have been devised to explore the dark side of our spiritual nature. The performance will be held together on the evening by an environment of sights and sounds that will turn the church into a cauldron of menace.
The audience will witness an ongoing supernatural struggle between spectres and their fates. The artists involved have dealt with unsettling themes within the stories, but never lost sight of the sheer joy of terrifying people.
