 Max Reinhardt Max cannot deny he is a mixed bag, but the contents all revolve around music: Currently he’s a guest presenter on Late Junction for Radio 3 . You might have listened to his Ketubah programme on Radio 4 last November… listen out for the repeat. He crops up on BBC World Service intermittently and was music consultant/ co-scriptwriter on Radio 2’s Freedom Sounds, the South African music series. Then there are the hectic Radio Gagarin sessions at Notting Hill Arts Club, which he curates and performs at as musician and DJ, feature acts and music from throughout the former Eastern Bloc, from Gogol Bordello’s Eugene Hutz to Fatima Spar and her Freedom Fries. www.myspace.com/radiogagagarin He is the musical director/composer for Oily Cart and musicians they have worked with recently include Finn Peters, Jason Walsh, Ernst Reijsiger and Eliza Carthy. ‘Oily Cart is one of the great British theatre companies of the last 25 years. Yet plenty of theatregoers, even the most avid, will not have heard of it. The reason is simple: Oily Cart works entirely with children, many with complex disabilities, and often behind closed doors in special schools.’ Lyn Gardner, Guardian Unlimited, 5 July, 2006 www.oilycart.org.uk He’s had a hand in remixes for Xplastaz, B.R.E.I.S. , Darko Rundek, Stella Chiweshe and Taraf Da Haidouks (for Electric Gypsyland 2 on Crammed).Rumour has it that you can find one of the Playdays programmes he did the music for on Utube. With Rita Ray, he's put together a host of innovative club nights in London and beyond, like The Shrine, and before that The Mambo Inn. Their Shrine Synchro System ( a band by other means) tours internationally from Moscow to Caracas to Zanzibar. As curators and consultants they work regularly with a number of venues (Barbican, V& A etc.), on projects like Beyond Nashville and Black President, and Festivals (Rise, Wych wood and Celebrating Sanctuary of which they are Artistic Directors). Recently they artistically directed and performed a musical/spoken word/visual exploration of the relationship between Europe and Africa, I Dream of Accra with the Long Blonde ’Fro, with novelist Patrick Neate, rapper BREIS, and musicians Tunde Jegede, Byron Wallen and Juldeh Camara. They are currently at work on its successor project, Where Have All the Panthers Gone and a book, Talkin’ About Fela, to be published later this year by Equinox. Their Fela Kuti Sunday Feature (BBC Radio 3) can be found at: radio3/worldmusic/feature_felakuti.shtml www.myspace.com/theshrinesynchrosystem www.theshrine.uk.com |
