Interrogating the Archive

Next up at 5pm, live in the Studio, Jim Colquhoun & Jamie McNeill Interrogate their personal archive in a live radiophonic performance.

They will conduct a live in the studio conversation /performance /re-enactment /primal scream in which they would present each other with items from their respective archives, using them as prompts from which to provoke discussion/arguments about the items’ provenance and place within their ‘shared’ story – “was this from Neilston?” “Was this the time we enraged the farmer with the sheeps face that warned us off the trackway by his farm?” “Remember the devil dog that nearly ripped us limb from limb?” This conversation/performance will be accompanied by a live ‘remix’ of audio elements from their archives – phone-recordings patched through guitar fx pedals, fingers jammed into cassette players, the ritual stroking of broken phones in an attempt to tease out meaning, (any meaning will do), make us feel better about ourselves and force it all to make some kind of sense.
