Free events 3-8pm
Evening performance 7.30pm – late, £12/£10
Lewisham Arthouse presents sound is sound is sound, Albany Theatre, Douglas Way, Deptford SE8

sound is sound is sound showcases and celebrates the curious mix of forward motion and DIY attitudes, the vanguard and the street, which has flourished in the SE postcodes, a highly motivated gathering of outsider sounds, exploiting the logics of punk, free jazz, electronica, sound art and breakbeat, melding them to suit the perverse intentions of the musicians.

sound is sound is sound follows on from the Lewisham Arthouse monthly series of sound and music, bringing together the south east London underground, music from other London and UK scenes, and internationally renowned players in a heady and engaging mix.

The evening performance will follow a full afternoon of sound installations, workshops and interventions in and around the Albany.

INSTALLATION: The Pomegranate Circus is a collaboration between Sam Weaver and KHOM visuals, both key figures in the creative hotspot Islington Mill, Manchester. Crashing together order and chaos they take Richard Brautigan’s poetic text as a starting point for unfolding patterns of sound and light.
