The Sounds of Christmas

The Sounds of Christmas is an annual project by Christian Marclay, pioneer of the experimental turntable movement and leading artist operating at the intersections of art and music. Reinventing this work-in-progress for London, the artist will present his collection of over 1,200 Christmas records as a publicly accessible archive in a special Thameside pavilion, alongside projections of the record covers and footage of previous performances (exhibition open 10-22 December during gallery hours). Combining blatant sentimentality with vanguard experimentation, Marclay suggests that the categories distinguishing ‘serious’ music from its opposite are both arbitrary and arcane.

Creative Archive: Creative Content In The Public Domain
Wednesday 15 December, 17.00,
Tate Modern Marclay Pavilion,
Free, no bookings taken

Paul Gerhardt, Strategic Director (Creative Archive) at the BBC, in conversation with Lina-Dzuverovic of Electra. In the midst of the plunderphonic universe of Christian Marclay's Sounds Of Christmas, Paul Gerhardt discusses the significance of archives in the creation of new artistic content. The TV and radio archives of the BBC and other broadcasters represent a huge untapped source of creativity. New developments in technology and in attitudes to rights could be the keys to tapping into that resource. The BBC is leading the way with a pilot initiative, the Creative Archive. If successful, it would help to transform the BBC's relationship with its audiences by moving beyond broadcasting to the sharing and co-creation of content.

LektroLAB: Plunderphonics/Sound Collage DJ Workshop
Saturday 18 December, 12.00–15.00
Tate Modern Marclay Pavilion
Free, booking required. Only 8 spaces available, to book please email
lina@electra-productions.com

Led by Paul B Davis LektroLAB)and Emma Davidson
This workshop covers aspects of DJ-ing which look beyond the standard set of dance music-oriented techniques; mixing disparate music styles, turntable manipulation, controlled feedback, improvising, locked grooves and generally all things ‘outside the box’. This workshop is for all skill levels and anyone with an interest in exploring a more creative side of DJ-ing.

Paul B Davis was a classically trained harpsichordist who co-founded the BEIGE record label/art collective. B Davis pioneered the use of hacked Nintendo Entertainment System cartridges as an artistic medium, created BEIGE's first Nintendo artworks and produces the music for his band The 8-Bit Construction Set. His music has also appeared on Matthew Herbert's Soundslike label and in Nike and Benihana commercials. Performing as ‘DJ Spin-Laden,’ he is the only DJ ever to get thrown off stage at the Technics/DMC World DJ Championships.

Emma Davidson's debut album I Love My Computer was released on the Aphex Twin's Rephlex label under the name Lektrogirl. 'I Love My Computer...playfully sifts through yesterday's electronic ephemera’ (NME). Since then the Tasmanian native has kept busy with performances across Europe and as a director of chip-music label/collective MicroMusic, was recently name-checked by Malcolm McLaren as ‘the final repository of the marvellous'. She co-founded the LektroLAB series of DJ workshops and events.

Saturday 11 December, 20.00–22.00
