SCRATCH MY NOSE - WHIPPY
Video - outtakes of current video.
Recreating Whippy Sydney CBD.
Two weeks after September 11 2001, SMN performed ‘Whippy’, a one-off performance in the Sydney CBD city block circling George, Pitt, Bathurst and Park Streets adjacent to Town Hall. The pivotal focus of the piece was the orchestration of sounds from three Mr Whippy vans and ten cars and the theme tune "Greensleeves".
This video - tries to recreate.
These short videos have missed the cut for one reason or another - but are still in the spirit of original performance.
‘Whippy’ transformed this Sydney CBD city block into an orchestration of sounds derived and guided by the nature from the city space by using pedestrians carrying hidden devices activating sounds, mobile phones with ringing jingles, muzak piped through shops (including Woolworths), buskers, children with musical toys, random car alarms, a convoy of ten cars with blaring speakers and the Mr Whippy vans circling the city block with a newly composed and manipulated version of the tune “Greensleeves”.
