Concerto for Voice & Machinery II
Concerto for Voice & Machinery II is an ICA commissioned re-enactment of the infamous gig by some members of Einsturzende Neubauten and other musicians such as Genesis P Orridge and Frank 'Fad Gadget' Tovey, which took place at the ICA on 3rd January 1984 and was composed around the use of industrial machinery, destruction of raw materials and ultimately the theatre stage.

Should be funny to see how they recreate it safely...
The ICA phoned me today and asked me if I was aware that it would only last 30 minutes and that I still wanted to attend. Sounds like they don'y want people to go...
Will report back if still alive!
