A weirdly timely one. A club night with one song played all night by the house band - 'When the Going is Smooth and Good' by William Onyeabor (who just died).

An ecstatic transformation ritual. Six hours of the same song played by the house band: 'When the Going is Smooth and Good' by 70s Electro synth pioneer William Onyeabor. A dance to destruction or a dance to transcendence. The performance draws on a range of historically dispersed attempts to extend and circulate simple musical structures, across the boundaries of high art and ritualistic, communal experience – Erik Satie’s Vexations (1893) and the deceptively shallow musical treatments of Ragnar Kjartansson to the Bumba Boi rituals of North East Brazil and the Coming of Age ceremonies of Nsu in Igboland.
