IN C and Air Anne Bean, Paul Burwell and Richard Wilson commissioned the sound poet Bob Cobbing to write several poem-songs. They used a complex arrangements of pulleys to animate the entire stage as a percussive instrument, a re-enforced glass tank of water to facilitate sounds ‘bent’ by being played in water as well as waterfalls created by buckets on pulleys, an entire hinged stage full of instruments that suddenly fell down around them and a light sensitive screen on which they could flash and ‘catch’ momentary shadows of instruments thrown and played in mid air.
"There’s a flying car that thinks it’s Ornette Coleman’s drummer... veering from beauty to horror, the spectacle is utterly, and at one point literally, stunning. " Time Out
"Tonight was a wealth of stunts and japes aural and visual,… Bliss… Brilliant" Melody Maker
"...John Cage, the Dadaists, ‘80’s noise groups like Test Department, they are all kindred souls of a kind: as for straight forward comparisons, there are few if any at all..." City Limits
