Late Junction Prom
Lantern Hall, Bristol Beacon
Listening back to highlights [if that's what we're calling it] of this Prom via its Radio 3 broadcast. The original show was performed at 9pm on Friday 22nd August.
It starts off with Angel Bat Dawid, and I think she's effectively 'tuning' the audience. She's playing single piano notes and encouraging a "ah / ee / oooh". Sounds pretty good - novel idea!
Next it's a musician called Sarahsson, and I'm afraid this is where the show loses me. Please don't misunderstand me: I'm all for the expression of 'femininity, transition and synaesthesia,' but from this piece I get very little, apart from a couple of nice bird tweets. And those don't last long.
I listen through for the purpose of completion of my 2025 Proms project. But, on the same plane with Yoko Ono's artistry [oh no!], I fear I may never reach a level of intelligence to appreciate this appalling cataclysm that we're calling music. Sorry!
