Eccentronic 'Neurovision' (Electro-Cabaret) Launches May 10
Electro-comedy duo Eccentronic are entering Eurovision. It's boom-bang-a-bang to world peace, radical choreography and avant-garde eurodisco. But will you, the jury, be wowed by award-worthy theremin and musical mash-ups from ABBA to Kraftwerk via the Croydon Tram, or will they score 'nul points'?
Unleash the Neurovision hit machine!Neurovision explores both the flippant, feather-boa'd, sequined side of Eurovision culture, and what it means to be British in an increasingly homogenised and disparate European federation. The duo skit by genres including experimental sound installations, stadium rock and Casio-keyboard ska.
Eccentronic are John Callaghan (Warp Records) and Ms Hypnotique (glamorous television theremin player). Neurovision marks the duo's second performance at Brighton Fringe, after 'We Won't Rock You', a musical about two hapless electronic musicians trying to write the ultimate commercial hit musical. They performed packed out shows during 2012's Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Free Festival.
The 'splendidly named Ms Hypnotique' (The Times) is a performer of gothic chanson and the theremin (a 1920s electronic instrument played without touch). Her world theremin domination has seen her tell Eamonn Holmes, 'you lack discipline' on the 'New Paul O'Grady Show' (Channel 4), and thereminising in Trafalgar Square for Antony Gormley's 'One and Other' project. Her latest single was released only on wax cylinder format and requires a wax cylinder player to hear it. She lands in Brighton fresh from a recent concert tour of Brazil, playing with the nation's top thereminists.
The show's music is produced by eccentric life model John Callaghan, whose electronic music and self-made videos have been released on the seminal Warp Records label. His work includes a lathe-cut single with hand-knitted covers which disintegrates after 50 plays, a remix for Autechre, and filming a pop video on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth.
