An ongoing event series at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, and soon to take residence at the Watershed in Bristol, Schtinter's project challenges all of the calcified criteria that is usually used to form and signpost a curated programme. The accompanying book, published by Tenement Press, has been described by Laura Mulvey as "very strange and deeply thought provoking," and by Alan Moore as "profound and riveting, a remarkable achievement."

Schtinter's other recent projects include Schneewittchen (IFFR, 2024), The Lock-In (Barbican Centre, 2022) and Important Books (or, Manifestos Read by Children) (Whitechapel Gallery, 2021-22).

In this first episode Mello Gold:

In 1967, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera approached the Krofft Brothers to design costumes for a television show which would feature animated and live-action segments, with the whole show hosted by a bubblegum pop group of anthropomorphic characters, played by actors in fleecy costumes similar to later Sid and Marty Krofft characters such as H.R. Pufnstuf.
The Banana Splits Adventure Hour premiered on NBC on September 7, 1968.

Each show represented a meeting of the Banana Splits Club, and the wraparounds featured the adventures of the club members, who doubled as a musical quartet, meant to be reminiscent of the Beatles and the Monkees.
Unlike their human predecessors, however, the Banana Splits were bizarre, anthropomorphic animals: rhythm guitarist Drooper was a lion, lead guitarist Fleegle was a dog, keyboardist Snorky was an elephant, and drummer Bingo was a monkey.

The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock 'n' roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine (I Enjoy Being a Boy, It's a Good Day for a Parade), Al Kooper , Barry White (Doin' the Banana Split),and Jimmy Radcliffe provided his song (I'm Gonna Find a Cave).

Additional material features the Micro Ventures of Professor Carter and his two teenage kids, Mike and Jill, who use a shrinking machine to shrink themselves and their dune buggy to miniature size, to explore and experience the world from the perspective of an insect.
Professor Carter, Mike, and Jill change to micro-size to observe an ant colony ...Groovy!

Now: the first show in the series is dedicated to a gramophone recording from Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums, featuring a speech by King George V made in the Shipley Art Gallery on 10th October 1928 to mark the opening of the Tyne Bridge. Originally recorded by Columbia Records and featuring additional addresses by Gateshead Town Clerk W. Swinburne, the recordings were published by Columbia as a souvenir of the event. The Shipley Art Gallery celebrates its 100th Anniversary this year.

To mark the centenary, Tyneside Sounds Society orchestrated a Call Out for artists to interpret and rework the original speech into new works for broadcast. With the exception of the creative use of the voice, artists were requested to use only the original recordings, manipulated as they saw fit. The results will be broadcast on Resonance Extra, but you can heard all submissions in full over in a specially curated set on the Tyneside Sounds Society Soundcloud page.

The Tyneside Sounds Society is a monthly broadcast dedicated to the recording and reinterpretation of the sonic environment and sound heritage of Tyneside in the North East of England.

In this extract from the day, a live performance of improvised and reimagined music and text from the project Dead Cast Bounce – a collaborative performance work by Gary Zhexi Zhang and Waste Paper Opera, telling tales of time, money and the unmaking of reality in the wake of catastrophe.

The original piece unfolds over five vignettes, blurring the lines between capitalism and ritual, finance and nature, belief and manifestation. The original score merges the Baroque music of Niccolò Jommelli and J.S.Bach with mimetic improvisation, choral rounds, synthpop and the textures of public speaking. Dead Cat Bounce takes the form of an oratorio, a medium of vocal performance used to deliver a sacred narrative.

Music by James Oldham. Text by Gary Zhexi Zhang and Klara Kofen.
