THE FARM
Performed by Marcus Vergette and his band
Friday 4 April 2025, 7pm - 9pm
£12.50
Venue: MAKE Southwest
Suitable for: Adults
Join Sound & Silence exhibitor Marcus Vergette and his band for a special live performance of THE FARM in our Jubilee Gallery!
Written and led by musician and sculptor Marcus Vergette, THE FARM comprises a group of connected vocal compositions that paint a portrait of Vergette's farm in Devon, where he has lived for the past 35 years.
THE FARM intriguingly incorporates multiple field recordings, taken from the local area, with live performance, drawing inspiration from Marcus' many years of working, observing, and trying to increase the biodiversity on his farm.
The two 45-minute sets feature sounds such as a hoverfly pupae stridulating, 15th century church bells ringing, the dawn chorus, rain, a country auction, hay being cut, and wood splitting.
This special performance will feature one of Marcus’s plaster bell exhibits featured in our Sound & Silence exhibition!
There will be a short interval during the performance with refreshments available.
THE FARM features:
Marcus Vergette - Bass & Bandleader
Nel Hubbard, Jessica Wynn-Jones and Lucy Foat - Vocals
Jem Fatna - Percussion
Steve Buckley - Alto Saxophone & Penny Whistle
Lyrics by Kate Westbrook, Ted Hughes and P. E. Mondjegou
