In September of 2008, Marko Whens and Tony Christy organized the first
Demagnetic Mutant Cabaret, “an evening of humor-based, conceptual,
nondramatic events informed by traditions such as Dada, Fluxus, and
Situationism.”
Leo Daedalus did John Cage stand-up and Oulipo rap; Tony went on a khaki
parade; Marko found the other side of the frame; and David Abel made tea
under surveillance.
At the Three Friends Coffee house open mic on Monday, May 4, they will
return as the Three Scrapettes, with a variety of non-acts, sound poems,
peripheral pieces, audience impersonations, and wrong solutions.
Biographical fallacies:
Marko Whens is soon to be published by an oppressed press. He falsely
proclaims to be the first poet to misspell every language.
As a child, Tony Christy grew gills and drowned. His father was a scrap
surgeon his mother a mitt mender. Upon graduation from the institute of
technical friction he took a position with the broke bureau.
Leo Daedalus has experienced spatial-sequence, or number form,
synesthesia since his leftmost days. Fittingly, he imagines that the
ideal expression of any particular art form would have to be realized in
a different form.
David Abel studied with Massenet and Fauré at the Paris Conservatoire
(1890-97), then lived uneventfully as a teacher and theorist, producing
an enormous body of music expressing his communist sympathies. Very
little of his work, however, escaped neglect.
Yeahh you’re jealous.
