Forest Swords and Maria Minerva will do some cool things in Liverpool
During Liverpool at the end of the month and over next month, a program of left-field leaning events mixing music, art and literature have been planned going under the name Overlap. The opening event features performances from Forest Swords and Maria Minerva, while there will also be an event celebrating electronic processing in vocal performance in October. At the end of October will be held one of the most po-faced karaoke events we can imagine, the Glitch Karaoke event will present a network of karaoke from Liverpool and London, which embraces the glitch effects of Skype and Youtube. There’ll also be an “Augmented Poetry” event which will be bring to life parts of Liverpool using mobile augmented reality, which are those barcodes your smartphone reads, supplied by Daqri, a tech company, not daiquiri, as we first heard, which is a kind of cocktail.
