Schimpfluch Carnival (2012)

Nov 30, 2012 - It was the first night of the Extreme Rituals Schimpfluch Carnival in Bristol, and GX Jupitter-Larsen performed with The New Blockaders. Three members of The New Blockaders were on stage severing, chopping, and ripping metal and junk. GX was above in a side balcony overlooking the stage. GX rubbed an amplified shovel against the balcony railing. The mostly high pitched crackling from The New Blockaders was in contrast to the mostly low end grinding by GX. The audience was ecstatic.

Dec 2, 2012 - Performing by thinking about performing was one of the themes of this final performance of the Schimpfluch Carnival. GX Jupitter-Larsen, Joke Lanz, Rudolf Eb.er, and Mike Dando were sitting on stage amplifying brainwaves. They used wireless electroencephalographic sensors that contented to laptops off stage. A sonfication patch, developed by Mick Grierson, translated the data stream to an audio signal. Rashad Becker mixed this signal into a wide spectrum of beeps, blasts, and blares that beset the bedazzled audience. Rudolf entitled the performance "Wellenfeld" in honor of Urs Schwaller. Richard Whitelaw was the performance coordinator. Hear an excerpt HERE .

Weltmaschine

Built between 1958 and 1981, what kind of noise machine is Franz Gsellmann's Weltmaschine? This "World Machine" near Kaag Austria is a festive structure built of 2000 different shrining components all rotating, roaring and flashing.

This mechanical siren screams to life with 25 electric motors. Gsellmann's Weltmaschine seems to be getting louder with age. Hear it: HERE

GX Jupitter-Larsen with Maria Gsellmann, Franz Gsellmann's daughter-in-law, who continues to maintain and give tours of the Weltmaschine.

Heckler (1999)

GX Jupitter-Larsen's favorite heckler was one he encountered in San Jose on June 25 1999. An anonymous young man emerged from the audience wearing a hand-drawn t-shirt depicting, among other things, a caricature of GX. He proceed to march up and down, yelling into a funnel all the reasons he hated The Haters. After a few minutes he just walked out of the gallery without any further clarification to the matter. Well done sir...!!! Whoever you are...

Orchestrated Explosions (1994)

Staged in the Nevada desert, on June 18 1994, GX Jupitter-Larsen unceremoniously detonated a series of explosions. Loud orange fire balls rose towards the night sky. Several from the cheering audience quickly joined in the festivity by helping to put out the resulting small brush-fires.
