Doors 7:30pm to 11:00pm. Standing.\nTraversing genres and conc epts\, from post punk to highlife\, kosmische music to free jazz\, Orchest re Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp\, the 12 piece band from Geneva\, return t o Lewes Con Club in December with their hair-raising and beautifully eccen tric music.\nTranscendental\, at times ritualistic\, the music contains a powerful narrative\, rallying around micro and macro confusions and brough t to life with an eruption of sounds and sensations\, from boompty trombon e riffs and gleaming string arrangements to bottles breaking\, eerie metal lic weird-outs and poly-rhythmic pulses and notes. The overall effect is t hat of a tense often Kronos-esque cinematic cut-and-pasted trip to the sun .\nFounded in Geneva 2006 by Vincent Bertholet\, Orchestre Tout Puissant M arcel Duchamp (a mischievous title in homage to traditional African groups – Orchestre Tout Puissant Konono n°1\, Orchestre Tout Puissant Polyryt hmo etc. and influential French artist Marcel Duchamp) is a large-scale\, ever evolving project.\nThe band has graced the stages of Europe\, from Fu sion Festival to Incubate\, Womad to Bad Bonn Kilbi\, effortlessly proving that the formula “the more the merrier” has never been more true than on stage.\nWith support from ChopChop\n“CHOPCHOP’s music snakes round its orator like a slippery thing\, cymbals replaced by the clatter of hub caps on toms\, cutlery-jammed guitars – there’s an itchy jazzy vibe to the melodics\, fuelled by a fertile imagination full of bruised shapes an d punkish angles.\nPerformance artist Xelís de Toro dances the jagged edg es superbly in an urgent\, jerky Giacometti centrepiece that has a David B yrne-like drive to his contortions\, enraptured in a stream of consciousne ss simplicity and a razor-sharp intellect. The sounds that surround him ar e tensive\, built up on darting dynamics\, eerie keys and smeared trumpet that Schaumburg your head with surprise. A mosaic whole\, crawling and cra ckling\, mining mantra-like to vocal abstracts that punch out their confin es.” FREQ magazine\n+ DJ Fiery Biscuits\nFacebook event: www.facebook.co m/events/292346790084662\n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ5dBC YJ9Sk[/embedyt]\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2023/08/MarcelD2023.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231029T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
