Sunrise Festival

When asked "So how did you sleep last night?", sunburnt orchestra members and [friends] replied:

• "I had to listen to someone playing ridiculously 80s music. ...Billy Ocean..."
• "Claustrophobic"
• "...the final countdown!"

Some had awful dreams: "I was at the cube cinema. I'm on next in [a dark gothic hall]"

• "..There was nothing performed that was not in Micheal Jackson's "Bad" album"

• "I'd turn to my side and have these mad dreams"

For others the outcome was different:

• "I slept like a log - I found it more comfortable than the guest bedroom. My arm always goes to sleep there. I do prefer hard floors..."

Anyway, here are some recorded performances from the festival:

• [Can't Kill Da Funk] Orchestra Cube Live in the Free Dome tent, trying in every way to kill this funk that would not die.

• [Ale Hugh Matthew] Ale Fernandez, Hugh Spiller and Matthew Watkin from the [Children of the Drone] collective. This was played in the Ogham and Triban Solar and Wind powered Cafes. The last two are a traditional andean progression and a song to play for the sun to come out from behind the clouds.

Matthew has more of these recordings on the [Internet Archive]. There are also [photos], [probably].

Thanks to Matthew for sending the music!
