Martin's Saturday at Sonar

dorlabel — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 20:07:50 +0100

One of the most thoughtful performances of Sonar, occurred at the end of the day sessions - Tres' Blackout Concert #20. A piece based on attentive listening and the qualities of silence

Sonar - dia ultimo

Looking at the schedule, we certainly weren't going to be able to make a day
of it on our last twenty-four hours of music and multimedia in Barcelona.

Martin's Friday at Sonar

I spent Friday chasing shadows, both literal and metaphorical.

Sonar...Dia Tres

So. About last night. By the time we got to Las Ramblas, on our way to see the Beasties, I wasn't feeling all that well. Too much Sunn O))), and not enough sun, I suspect.

SonarMatica was, as ever, a delight. For me, anyhow. Martin's scepticism, when consulted later, was in full effect. But there was lots to see and do, from silver balloons which moved as you approached, to a simplified, gallery version of Philip K. Dick's scramble suit from A Scanner Darkly...

Sonar - thus far...

In, possibly petulant, defiance of corporate sponsorship of 'culture' (and godawful beer), we have not had a drink as yet today. As, unlike our last trip, where the sponsorship was by San Miguel (still in plastic cups, but still nice enough) Budweiser is the only beer they allow in here. And we're not talking Budvar. So, after the (hopefuilly mighty) fine sounds of China's FM3 and White, followed by said triple FMs featuring Blixa Bargeld (of Einsturzende Neubauten infamy) in Sonar Hall, a bar surely beckons for some decent beer and some upbeat downtime, prior to a bit of sightseeing. As the only game in town tonight is the Beastie's acoustic set at the 'pre-party' later. As fun as that might be, I think I can wait for the 'real deal' tomorrow night in the out-of-town aircraft hangar that is SonarPark.
