Linsey Pollak | 'Funky Junk' - devised for and performed at Festival O Gesto Orehudo, Portugal (2010) @SquealyD | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 1 hour ago
'Funky Junk' was a duo show devised by Linsey Pollak performing together with his partner, percussionist Jessica Ainsworth. 'Funky Junk' had ping pong bats scraping shaved heads and bare legs. There were bagpipes made from rubber gloves and beach balls. As well as the unbelievable sound of Mr Curly (a contra bass clarinet made from garden hose). There were clarinets made from a feather duster and a watering can and also a miniature drum kit that weighed only 2 kgs with drumskins made from bubble wrap. Linsey also created a wooden soprano saxophone used with live looping to create exciting multi-layered grooves with basslines played on elastic and a kaossilator, with percussion grooves on a balloon. ……and don’t forget the carrot…..which got made into a clarinet during the show!
