Friday 5 February 2010, 18.30–21.30

Join artist Larry Achiampong and his band for a jam session with a difference; taking place over three hours in an darkened space, Jam in the Dark is a heightened sensory experience and a whole new way to listen to music.

“Ok, its as simple as ABC… we take our instruments into a dark space with improvisation in mind. We rely on each other’s sense of sound and feeling to communicate with one another. The audience is bound to this void of nothingness to see and everything to hear and feel. It’s a cycle of letting go, giving back and receiving!
JAM IN THE DARK!”

With Kimathi Donkor, Kunal Patel, Sharon Dabrowa, Roi Driscoll, Ben Youngman and Barbara Lambert.

Also in the Manton Foyer watch Nothingness into Somethingness (2010), part two of a film series by artist Larry Achiampong, in which he describes “when artists make nothing and describe it as something”, inspired by and responding to Jam in the Dark. Sound by Larry Achiampong and Barbara
Lambert.

Running time: 9 mins, on a loop
