This Saturday marks the last in the series for this season of Super 0. Other then getting more hands on practice on our fab Pioneer DJ toys. we have a special performance for you guys.
Local synth pop wonders Cosmic Armchair will preview live for the first time locally, the Singapore franchise of TV Mania (the experimental project of Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo) with a live improvised remix electro pop set at The Mill. True to the TV Mania aesthetic, the show “blends television samples and looping rhythm tracks to create a sonically sophisticated collection of songs“.
As part of the POP LAB workshop series by Pop Studio DJ school and the Electronic Music Lab, we will also explain the creative process, how to perform with alternative instruments and controllers, and answer audience questions.
7.45 pm – 8.30 pm DJ Workshop by Pop Studio + hands on
8.30 pm – 91.5 pm TV Mania live improvisation by Cosmic Armchair + workshop
Venue: The Mill, 5 Jalan Kilang (Bukit Merah), as part of the Super Zero Festival
How did a long lost experiment by two members of Duran Duran find its way (decades later) to a Singapore electro pop band?
When Rhodes and Cuccurullo re-discovered their lost recordings and then released the TV Mania album, they also invited musicians around the world to take on local franchises. After they granted us the exclusive franchise for Singapore, they sent us the TV Mania manifesto, a tool kit full of samples and loops, and design elements for us to use to create remixes, films and more.
The first remix that we made was a video and club mix of the TV Mania song Beautiful Clothes, with additional samples in Chinese dialects like Hokkien and Teochew, and hidden camera footage of local night markets. You can watch the video here.
The next set of videos will be filmed at the show on Saturday, where we will build the remixes live in front of the POP LAB audience, playing on pads, controllers, tablets and voice processors.
So free yourself this Saturday evening. Details on event page
