Outtakes from GARGANTUA





Ergo Phizmiz's "Gargantua" tours the UK in March 2013. Here are some musical bits that didn't make the final edit, or made the edit in very different ways.

Full tour dates announced soon. European tour also looking likely, and some USA possibilities.....

Hope to see you there. Come and say hello. Perhaps buy me a whisky, straight, single malt. Thanks.


Outtakes from Ergo Phizmiz's "Gargantua", an excessive entertainment or bored-game with history in electronic music, collage, animation, puppetry and performance. Premieres March 2013. Supported by PRS Foundation for New Music, Soundart Radio, UpItUpRecords, Qujunktions, Handpressed, Bridport Arts Centre, Berwick Maltings, Morden Tower.

Cinemacollages Volume 2


New sound collages on the history of cinema, comprising:

Neurotic Fantasia on Orson Welles' "The Trial" using elements of Welles' deeply strange Kafka adaptation to create a nightmare-game of estrangement and disconnectedness.

Zeman's Magic Composites using fragments of Karel Zeman's "The Fabulous Baron Munchausen" and "A Deadly Invention".

Bouncing Balls for Piotr Kamler takes tiny fragments of Kamler's "Couer de Secours" and "Le Labyrinthe".



Like this? Why not also dip into "Cinemacollages Volume 1"?
