live vocal improv sat 3 jul 21

My latest live vocal improv, which isn't really an improv.

So mostly I read the texts of signs and graffiti I collected around Greater Manchester over the last week, with some improvised commentary along the way. At the end I scrolled back through to 'remix' and play with bits of the text. I particularly like the long Pale blue square/Dark blue square sequence.

I wanted to have a break from the kind of improvs I'd done the last few weeks. More than likely I'll be back to normal business next week. Meanwhile, below the video, is the text I used for the performance so you can make your own fun with it.
