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 Brontės.
These works include film, spoken samples and found sound in
addition to songs and poems. |

Project Adorno
perform Brontė
Beat at
Brighton Fringe 2023
Comprising
original songs, film, ambient sounds and spoken word, Brontė
Beat explores the multi-faceted world of the Brontės
through an electro-pop lens from their early dabblings in
scribblemania to the success of their novels and the
fascinating history of their all too brief lives. The piece
also includes interview extracts from people connected to the
literature, landscape and places associated with the Brontė
story. A performance
collage weaving the facts of their
lives with the myths of their fiction.

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.
Live
performance as part of Brighton Fringe on Fri 2 & Sat 3
June 2023. Details here.

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? |

A lock-down special
featuring songs old and new as Project Adorno perform in

amusing. |
