Vivid Festival
Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House
4th June 2010
(Curators: Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed. Artists inc: Laurie Anderson, Emily Haines, Marc Ribot, Blind Boys of Alabama, Eyvind Kang, Holly Miranda, Doveman, Colin Stetson, My Brightest Diamond, Chirgilchin, Doug Wieselman, Skuli Sverrisson)
Soothing degustation serving, in various combinations, a selection of Vivid Festival artists. Small groups and slow numbers let the artists show off their skills. The curators purveyed intriguing combinations, none more so than Chirgilchin (Mongolian throat singing) plus Eyvind Kang on violin and Colin Stetson’s bass sax to create a sound of great depth and colour. Worthy if a little one-paced and a frustrating lack of information, I wanted to know why these combinations.
