Electro pop & cabaret performance act employing voice,
electronic sounds, a few props and occasional acoustic guitar.
Imagine Theodor Adorno's "Aesthetic Theory" distilled into
Chas & Dave singing an MA paper, or alternatively the FT letters
page as sung by Soft Cell, and you get the general idea. Project
Adorno have also written and performed a number of art-house multimedia productions
including biographical interpretations of Derek Jarman, Dennis
Potter and, most recently, the Brontës.
These works include film, spoken samples and found sound in
addition to songs and poems. |

Queer Pop
Left-field,
non-conforming, indie and odd - pop music with lyricism,
melody and the occasional minor chord. Words, beats, tunes & tales featuring…
Project
Adorno, Drunk Keith! & Andy Pop
A new concept in Queer
Pop:
Leftfield electro-pop with analogue sensibilities and a hint
of disco; spoken word, songs & performance art
exploring gender fluidity, the quirks of popular culture,
& low fidelity
infidelities in a celebration of non-conformity; imagine a
mirror ball tinged with the feel of sepia super-8 in
soft-focus.

On
becoming Blousey Brown (Mar 2023) - listen online at
Soundcloud
Pop songs exploring gender-fluidity as an '80s child comes of age in
discovering their true identity. Written over the course of a
year, the songs represent a personal journey through gender,
difference, popular culture and how one wishes to present to the world.
Viewed contemporaneously, from a middle-aged perspective, the songs
inevitably unlock memories of a childhood that only with
hindsight point to the person one might become.

Virtually
- Project Adorno Album (Aug 2021) - listen online
Words and music blurring the boundaries between the real and
the unreal. Explorations in make-believe, what-ifs, truths and deceptions. As analogue sensibilities fuse with digital artifice do
we really know what is real anymore, and does it really matter? |
