Kim Salmon
& The Surrealists

Rantings From The Book Of Swamp will be 2 performances by Kim Salmon and the Surrealists recorded and filmed in a recording studio using state of the art technology to livestream the event over the internet. The band’s repertoire for these performances will be completely improvised to go directly, as is, to make up the content of a new album. The band won’t be rehearsing the material prior to recording – it wouldn’t be improvised if they did.

Each member will allow themselves to come prepared with their own set of ideas eg Kim will be singing lyrics directly from his note books – he has some three volumes of “The Book Of Swamp”. This event will afford the viewer a rare opportunity to watch the creative process of a band as they interact and adapt with the intention of salvaging/extracting/fashioning a compelling performance out the situation that presents. This will be a unique opportunity to watch a group of musicians in situ as they communicate using whatever common language they can create, to make use of the studio, their own, and each other’s skills.
