Concert #7: Rumble in the Urban Jungle
RUMBLE IN THE URBAN JUNGLE was a short-lived but high-octane subterranean multimedia installation. Armed with a battery of audio and video gear, a group of Vancouver’s leading improvisers invaded the public space below Robson Square, transforming it into an interactive electronic spectacle. Passers by were drawn down into the space where they themselves became part of the spectacle, unwittingly turning the absurdity of urban life on its head. Performers included Ben Wilson, Mark McGregor, Giorgio Magnanensi, Khan Lee, Keith Hamel, Gordon Fitzell, and Marianne Bos. This audio-visual assault was made possible by a New Music in New Places Grant, courtesy of the Canadian Music Centre and the SOCAN Foundation.
