And it's just lovely. On the 14th October 2013, I'll be joining the eminent musician and fellow Wodehouse character Peter Gregson at the Luton Music Club to max out on Minimalism. Details to follow, but on.
Different Trains (1988) is a Grammy award winning composition written for string quartet and tape. Utilising snippets of verbal archive, recounting memories of train journeys taken in Europe and America during WWII. It was previously described by musicologist Richard Taruskin as 'one of the few adequate artistic responses to the holocaust in any medium'. Taking place days before Reich celebrates his 80th Birthday, the piece will be performed as an open-air concert at Edge Hill station, inviting audiences to reflect upon the impact of the invention of train travel and the role it went on to play during World War II and the formation of the modern world.
Metal at Edge Hill station Metal is based at Liverpool’s Edge Hill station, neighboured by Toxteth, Wavertree and Kensington; areas of great character and diversity. Windows 7 download. However, like many of the UK's post industrial centres these areas and their populations have suffered from an increasing lack of opportunity over the past 40 years. This project aims to connect with hundreds of these local residents as audience and participants, with the intention of defining an alternative narrative for the area based on its significant heritage rather than its diminished opportunties, a heritage that is linked to the station venue and origins of the story presented by Reich’s piece.
Metal project at Edge Hill Over 300 local residents will engage with the work prior to the performance through a number of community sessions that Metal will lead at the station. Planned use of Carriage Ramp for Different Trains Through this event we will revive this space as a new venue for the Different Trains performance and for future world quality events that tell this story to a vast audience as a means to bringing back some of the proud status and belief that the area so richly deserves. Any pledges made to this project, above our set target, will go towards these more permanent improvements to this space with a long term view to making this an essential part of the Different Trains event and Metal's continuing work in this location. Who we are: Steve Reich. Steve Reich is one of America's most celebrated composers.

Risks and challenges This wider project has a number of high profile partners and as a result it is confirmed that the performance of Different Trains will take place at Edge Hill station; featuring Steve Reich, LCO, Sound Intermedia and Bill Morrison’s new film. The risks and challenges we face are in making this project as accessible as possible and meeting Metal's wider objectives of utlilising the activity to define a positive narrative for the area and its local population. If this Kickstarter campaign is successful we can ensure that general event tickets are kept to an affordable level and ensure that our free ticket distribution 300 to people from the local area can go ahead.
If we are unsuccessful our capacity to provide free tickets and targeted engagement activity will be jeopardised. If we are successfully backed through Kickstarter our potential risks are greatly minimised, however this is a large and complex event and as a result we are still cautious as to what extent our improvements to the aforementioned Carriage Ramp of Edge Hill station can be utilised as permanent changes, allowing us to deliver further activity on the site post the Steve Reich Different Trains event. A successful Kickstarter campaign would once again leave us greater capacity to achieve these more permanent changes leading to greater future activity.
