2003

 


Britannia Bridge, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
01/01/03

On a New Year's day exploration of the under regions of George Stephenson's famous Victorian railway bridge, members of Parking Non-Stop chanced upon a piece of derelict rusting marine machinery. When coaxed into activity, it provided just the right kind of creaking rhythms to fit in with the collective's "rural industrial" aesthetic. A recording was immediately made and used as the basis of a new piece of music.


Ucheldre Centre, Holyhead
21/02/03

Parking Non-Stop's second public performance took place in the Ucheldre Art Centre in Holyhead, Anglesey in an unusual lunch-time event entitled "The Geographies Of Chance" . The performance served as a taster for the forthcoming multi media project "The Archaeology Of Coincidence".

The afternoon event included poetry from Ian Davidson and Sculpture from Wanda Zyborska as well as sound design and a live performance from Parking Non-Stop.


Berlin
25/07/03

Some general ambience was recorded on the city's U-Bahn system, along with the performance of a Prenzlauerburg busker, entertaining early evening bar-goers with his interpretation of Oasis' "Look It Back In Anger" (?!?)
