This Thursday, Mixlr will feature a very special live broadcast: a 24-hour, non-stop Theremin performance from underneath London Bridge by Nick Franglen, formerly of Lemon Jelly.
In Nick’s own words:
Next Thursday, I am going to be playing a theremin under London Bridge for 24 hours. I will be starting and ending at midnight, in a slowly developing collaboration with the thousands of pedestrians who cross the bridge. I’ll be situated on the walkway beneath the arches, feeding the output of the theremin into a series of loop and effect pedals to create continuous, complex washes of sound that will be audible on the walkway around me. Pedestrians crossing the bridge above will unwittingly affect this output: as they pass by, they will cut a hidden beam on the bridge that will momentarily mute the music I’m making, a little blip of silence imprinted by each passing pedestrian throughout the 24 hours.
This is a unique performance, and Nick will be streaming the entire 24 hours on Mixlr: so make sure you tune in.
