Let's take this weekend out on an off note and BUTCHER THE CLASSICS with this mind-boggling playlist from the editors of 'The World's Worst: A Guide to the Portsmouth Sinfonia.' ⠀ ⠀ Linkinbio will take you to the playlist. But please also see editors Chris Reeves and Aaron Walker's invaluable annotations via link on our homepage, artbook.com (or here: https://www.artbook.com/blog-worlds-worst-playlist.html). ⠀ Recordings are by The Portsmouth Sinfonia, of course, but also: Florence Foster Jenkins, Temple City Kazoo Orchestra, The Majorca Orchestra, Michael Nyman, The Scratch Orchestra, Brian Eno, Spike Jones and His City Slickers, the Promenade Theatre Orchestra and Steve Beresford and Anne Marie Beretta.⠀ ⠀ In 1970, galvanized in part by the musical experiments of avant-garde composers Gavin Bryars, John Cage and Cornelius Cardew, students at Portsmouth College of Art in England formed their own symphony orchestra. Christened the Portsmouth Sinfonia, its primary requirement for membership was that all players, regardless of skill, experience or musicianship, be unfamiliar with their chosen instruments. C⠀ ⠀ 'The World's Worst: A Guide to the Portsmouth Sinfonia' is published by @soberscove⠀ ⠀ Please order from your local independent #bookstorehero — many are still shipping or offering curbside pickup! You can also order from local independents via @bookshop_org or #indiebound⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or order directly from @artbookps1 @artbookhwla or artbook.com!⠀ ⠀ @otherchrisreeves @pinecone_ready #portsmouthsinfonia #florencefosterjenkins #templecitykazooorchestra #majorcaorchestra #michaelnyman #scratchorchestra #brianeno #spikejones #promenadetheatreorchestra #steveberesford #annamarieberetta⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CATdZiQp2e0/?igshid=u6zwwbtkfhx4
