EMBRACE YOUR INNER CRAP DAD
A recently divorced sound artist dad gorges on new lows in parenting, human engagement and generally being crap.
‘The audience followed Scatterman as he talked to himself, gesticulating and staggering around a couch or playing a prepared piano while opening one beer can after another. Uncouth antics were contrasted by candid images of his family’. Le Scatterman addresses ‘the self-defeating idea of seeking the perfect life: the perfect husband, mother, child, society or artist’. Cool Perth Nights.
Part solo concert (prepared piano/guitar/voice/synthesisers), part commedia dell’arte: Le Scatterman features unruly flashes of dark comedy, and a twist of performance art, delivered by Australia’s recalcitrant sound artist James Hullick.
In recent years Le Scatterman has been adapted into episodes on radio for PBS 106.7FM airing Sundays 10pm, 8–29 November 2021 on The Sound Barrier show, presented by Ian Parsons. A version of the project premiered at the Perth Arts Centre in 2016 supported by Tura New Music.
