ADMISSION FREE
Noise of Art and Sound and Music launch Kindertransport, an audio-visual installation and sculpture by Ralph Koltai CBE and Ben Osborne on 15 April at the British Film Institute Southbank, London.
Inspired by the mission which rescued 10,000 mostly Jewish children from German occupied Europe in 1938 – 1940, the artwork will tour the European departure points and the UK. Amongst the children saved from death in Nazi concentration camps were important post war figures, including prominant artists, scientists, philanthropists, directors and musicians.
The sculpture is created by Ralph Koltai CBE, a celebrated set designer, artist and Kindertransport survivor. He has been credited for innovating post war British set design.
The project is conceived by Ben Osborne, a Musician, DJ and writer, who is currently participating in the cross platform New Music Plus Award scheme.
Audio visuals for the launch have been created by Fred Deakin, (musician, graphic artist and half of Mercury prize nominated band Lemon Jelly), Overlap (a duo made-up of fine artist Michael Denton and animated image artist Anna McCrickard) and Ben Osborne.

Rounding off this April’s traditional month of Noise of Art actvity, NOA teams up with sister club Slipped Disco’s UFO for a night of music, visuals, performance art and DJs. Drawing its inspiration from the night’s UFO theme, the night will span live beat science, wigged out disco, psychedlic re-edits, bass fuelled sci fi funk and wah driven dancefloor rock – while art will come courtesy of regular Noise of Art collaborators, making this the biggest prog concept experience since Spinal Tap recreated Stonehenge.
“When we heard Slipped Disco, Noise of Art, Deep Space Disco polymath Ben Osborne was planning to resurrect the legendary UFO Club, our brains exploded.” (Eddy Lawrence, Time Out)

Yes We KAN’T at The Social: April 22nd
by Tom on Mar.25, 2010, under clubs, performance art
Noise of Art throws an intimate party during its month of activity. Continuing current prog embracing themes, this time NOA is inviting spoken art, words and electronic music to rub shoulders in a club environment.
Faro Isles performer, Budem, will start the evening’s music with a rare opportunity to see a UK performance of his version of the Faro isles story telling traditions. Combining theatre, literature and folk music traditions, his performances are mesmerising and like nothing you’ve seen before. This is the second appearance at Noise of Art, but given the last time was at the Royal Festival Hall, this promises to be a far more intimate affair.
Electronic audio visual outfit Sculpture make their Noise of Art debut with a new set that they’ll be touring around European festivals later this summer. And DJ Ben Osborne will be topping and tailing the night with a typically dancefloor shaking set.

Yes We KAN’T at Momo: April 9th & 7 Hour set at BCH: April 16
by Tom on Mar.25, 2010, under clubs
Friday 16 April…
Will see Noise of Art founder Ben Osborne play a seven hour set upstairs at the Big Chill House in Kings Cross. Entry is free until 10pm and then it’s £5 (as long as it’s not full).
Friday 9 April…
Having everyone stomping on the bar may not always be the best way to guarantee your return to one of central London’s swankiest venues, but that doesn’t seem to have stopped the ultra fashionable Momo from inviting Severino and Ben back to spin back to back again.
Their last foray here caused sweet chaos as they mixed from everything to anything (Seventies funk rock to salsa to glitched disco, jiggy house, drum n bass and bin munching b-lines). Even the bouncers didn’t want ‘em to stop.
