Piracy,Derbyshire,1965.

The latest piece from my old school's super 8 archive, re-edited and soundtracked . This originally silent film showed the rehearsals for a production of Pirates of Penzance  in the school Hall. The sound is me on pitch shifted violin and piezo/bow-on- neck percussion, the sax solo was lifted from a Youtube rip of wobbly VHS'd telly commercials.
Two days of sound and music workshops alongside  Glenn Boulter as part of the South Cumbria Girlguiding weekend at John Ruskin School, Coniston. Sound sources included a variety of kitchen implement/piezo combinations, some conventional instruments, and some root vegetables. A great couple of days.
