Descrizione
"The Archimedes Quartet is a project driven by method, mystery and miasma. Five years ago David Thomas described a bath tub epiphany to Peter Blegvad at a chance meeting outside an architectural college in Oxford. "Edison, Einstein, Eisenhower and Elvis - The Four 'E's Who Invented The 20th Century." This evolved, in the way of these sorts of conversations, into a Big Idea - a lecture / symposium slamdown to be refereed by Chris Cutler. A few emails were exchanged, words beginning with "E" were accumulated but, in the way of these things, the Big Idea withered on the vine.
Well, it's back and it's bigger than before and it's booked, Saturday, December 3 2011, at Cafe Oto, London.
Only trouble is we still got no idea at all what the Big Idea will look like except it will be musical and bag lunches are advised.
That's the downside. The upside is that Blegvad and Thomas are inventive story-tellers, of the tall tale variety, very cool singers, and, in spite of a mutually shared tendency to over intellectualize, they are shameless entertainers. Egged on by the flamboyant rhythm section of Chris Cutler and John Edwards a concert of "Eureka!" moments is envisioned.
On the principle that the best way to deal with a "bug" is to turn it into a feature, a blog has been set up to track the evolving Big Idea: inventingtime.wordpress.com. See the ideas take shape."
