“Restore the Rec”. On the 13th of September, various activities will be happening all around Lordship Recreation Ground (map) and the Broadwater Farm Community Centre. The food co-op will be at the centre and the community kitchen will be serving some tasty delicacies. There will be a farm produce show, green show, a visit from the Hackney City Farm’s fury and hairy creatures AND of course some pedal powered music. If you fancy pedal powering some bands in the midst of giant pumpkins, English cheese wheels and geese, than this must be you chance. We’ll be down there from 12 onwards till about 6pm. Restore the Rec can be accessed from Lordship Lane and Adam’s Road.

We came across this man while on an outing to the Notting Hill Carnival. Love at first sight! It wasn’t so much his looks as his bicycle or rather his custom made bike-drum kit. You got to see the spectacle for yourselves. We shall get in touch with this man and see whether he is up for some collaboration. Surely, you can’t beat brain bashing beats on a bicycle-drum kit accompanied by pedal powered tracks! Oooooooo! We’ll keep you posted on what comes of this networking attempt. Let’s hope it’s fruitful!

Mag Rev takes it to another level. We took advantage of some of the great connections we made with people at climate camp and met up with Jamie. The idea was to record some bicycle sounds to make a sneaky track. Well, I guess we’ll put Jamie to the test. What is he going to cook up from the sounds of wheels turning, gears changing, chain rattling and metal tapping? Let’s see. We may use this track as our web sound or as sound for the revolutionary animation reel.
We couldn’t really record anything from Barbora’s fixie as it is just so smooth. Ahhh. After our little recording session inside we wanted to go out into the streets and capture the sounds of a bike whizzing by. Of course, it never happened as it was raining. What a surprise, hey? We had no other option apart from visiting a local for a lunch time pint. What a life of misery! We’re still missing bits and bobs: sound of wheel being pumped up and releasing air out of a tire. We entrust Jamie to finish up the sound recording. He says he’s brilliant BUT we got our eyes on him!
