Yes, another not strictly Cube event, but still in the extended family thanks to organiser of the old pedestrian nights ( and so much more ) Tom Pause_2.
Now we are up to September 24th, and Voyage into The Unknown 2, which featured many many things, including zombie djs Granzon Nodo playing atmospheric horror library music on portable record players, and occasionally instruments . . .
. . . it was a really magical outing, and a pleasure to be ( minimally ) involved . . .
I won’t review everything that went on, but one of the great things was the chancing upon ( or even creating ) strange scenes, like Morgan and Zulieka’s impromptu baroque ballet to Colin Smith’s spooky improvisations . . .
. . . or the fun to be had trampolining in the dark . . .
The first VITU happened in 2003, and it is a mystery to me if or when there is going to be a VITU3 . . . I hope so though . . .
This guy 
was well guilty of overacting. Anyhow I think like many others that we thought it was satirical at first, but pretty soon it became apparent that Hog was trying to depress us. Luckily I was on the wheels of steel and reached for 
thank goodness I left the Leonard Cohen at home.
Mr Hopkinson 
even went so far as to have 
I couldn’t bring myself to watch this but I did venture to see the Cube style extras you Just don’t get with other Cinema experiences 
Despite that humourous interlude 
He did a sterling job, especially in complimenting me on the tunes I played.
I admit I’m not much of a Dj but I wasn’t too bad this time, probably aided because I played some music people wanted to hear. Apart from this chap 
Now well done sir for making the effort to dress up, but asking for the ‘R & B’ to be turned off (when I’m playing quality HipHop) and replaced by 
Zorba The greek proving a real favourite witht the punters (do you hear me party people?). And also some Astronaut cross dressing

Damn this was a good night and should go down in a top nights at the Cube Ever list (perhaps a Channel 4 tv program hosted by Jimmy thnigybob).
either that or long haired men drinking are highly comical to our antipodean cousins (in this case ‘Brassy’ Belinda Davies). Meanwhile backstage Tomoko and Elly contemplted the madness that was to come 
…………..
Personally I don’t remember much about the music, we haven’t done the conducting signs thing for some time but we played well to the signs, here Ellie demonstrates 
and it must of worked ‘cus the audience didn’t walk out, yes I said the audience didn’t walk out! hence Ellie’s rather smug (and stoned) look (thats Richard and his melodica in the background factfans) 
a round of applause and then improvised craziness till the curtain brought an end to our most experimental of performances. Well done to all, Peter, Tomoko, Hugh, Stuart, Belinda, Team Brick, Richard, Ellie and myself, not to mention Jesse as the bird and Mr H himself.
Underneath the stage and seat Tom Bugs used movement snesors to create an orchestra of noises. I’m not sure what to suggest Tom, a good psychiatrist or the number for the ARTS Council.
that they should win the Turner Prize, and as a gentlemman and the husband of Belinda then I’m prone to believe him.
backed up Diss Miss on the decks with his keyboard antics. This was mighty impressive stuff, and there was some fine dancing in action by the sizeable crowd.
Which kind of started with Mr H punching out bits in card before playing it through one of those wind up thingys. What followed was unbelieveably good 
and apparently it’s only the first draft. The graphics were amazing, the music sensational and the whole thing so iimpressive that the main reaction of the audience was huge crazy smiles and Evagelical hands in the air nuttyness, SEE 
I really liked the bit where a tiny piano was being played whilst a penguin swum in the background. My Camera chose to run out of power around here but honesrtly the reaction of the crowd was fantastic, I feel truely honoured to have been involved in the peformance and in the film. Mr Hopkinson, we salute you.

Dani did a bit of conducting in a crazed Maestro way 
though he seemed to think the 
but forgive her for she is our 
Wham and Kajagoogoo covers. Marcus was late, 40 press ups for him, and his paunch needed the help believe me……..
self publicity, though me drumming was ‘crisp and enjoyable’ (Copyright 
and like most families we look a bit 
Marcus clearly older wiser, middle brother Barry sensible clean cut but full of anger and then poor younger stupider, uglier Team Brick. Isn’t life strange?
