We will be playing as part of the World Listening Day Preview held at Cafe Oto, FRIDAY 16th July, exploring the sounds of East Londons Soundscape, along with many other artists.

“Fruit for the Apocalypse invite you to participate in a preview of East London Soundscapes at Cafe Oto. East London Soundscapes has been created for the first World Listening Day, which happens in a secret location on Sunday, July 18, 2010. The purposes of World Listening Day are to celebrate the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology to raise awareness about issues related to the World Soundscape Project, World Listening Project, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and individual and group efforts to creatively explore phonography.”

I haven’t heard this sound for so long…

This extended tone dropped me back into the whirl of memory. I remembered how excited we were about it when the school teacher announced in the morning that there would be 30 minutes of hiding underneath the table that day. I remembered clearly how we were teasing our classmates who couldn’t squeeze themselves underneath their tables.

Then, it came, as expected, yet, surprised you each time.

After a many long discussions, myself and Lucia have decided to go ahead with our new exciting project which will be our new small label called threeplusone. This new label will be another place for us to realize our work and also to collaborate with other sound artists in releasing works together.
