Drumming up maximum support: gods, music and ritual in ancient Mexico: an interactive and illustrated lecture-demonstration on the musical instruments played by the Aztecs, by Ian Mursell. The talk will be supported by slides, copies of a wide range of wind and percussion instruments, and evidence for their existence from facsimiles of pre-Hispanic screenfold ritual books.

Ian Mursell is co-Director of Mexicolore, a long-established, independent, artefact-based teaching team on Mexico and the Aztecs for schools and museums throughout England, with 27 years of experience of working in over 1,500 schools as well as in national museums, bringing Mexico and the Aztecs to life through artefacts of all kinds, including many musical instruments. He has made a personal study of the evidence for Aztec musical instruments through the few extant pre-Columbian codices, has published features on individual Aztec instruments on the internet (aztecs.org), and is delivering a paper on Music and Spectacle in the ceremonial centre of Tenochtitlan at the 2007 Society for Latin American Studies annual conference at Newcastle University.

ILAMS in association with Clear Insight Productions presents

Rivers and Mirrors: Part I
Monologue for un-classic piano, perhaps in six parts,
with two impromptus - like lakes of intuition - and an
invitation to female voice, computer and film.

Oscar Edelstein (Buenos Aires) Composer / Pianist
Deborah Claire Procter (Cardiff)Singer / Film director
Sandra Grinberg (New York) Filmed Dancer





We are delighted to introduce the premiere of a new
musical work, Rivers and Mirrors: Part I by the
avantgarde Argentinean composer Oscar Edelstein. We
hope you will come to see this evocative and
compelling performance. It is poetic and modern,
infused with uniquely Argentinean rhythms. And as
always with Oscar's work, it pushes the boundaries
between the classical, the contemporary and the
popular.

In this work Deborah Procter has been producer, film-maker and vocalist. The dancer in the film is Sandra Grinberg from the Trisha Brown Dance Company in New York. The film was shot in Buenos Aires with a crew from Argentina, using an abandoned factory and the former National Library where Borges had worked.

Performances also at :
The Tabernacle, Machynlleth, 21st April
