The first episode of Mr Cole's artist film series UNIVERSAL EAR is now available to watch online in full.
UNIVERSAL EAR is a lost adventure serial charting Harley Byrne’s ongoing
mission: to capture and make available for download “all the world’s
music, ever.”
Mr Cole and his roaming, ever-evolving Universal Ear Studios team have made it their business to (p)reconstruct this unfound serial of the future, episode by episode into infinity. Other texts, videos and supporting experiments have also materialized.
A Flea Orchestra In Your Ear was produced during an artist residency at Nexus Art Cafe in Manchester in May 2010 and premiered at Abandon Normal Devices in August 2012. The film stars Stewart Lockwood and Tuesday Betts; music is by Aidan Smith.
In this episode, heroic ex-postman Harley Byrne travels back in time to 19th century Romania,
to record the world’s first ever remotely delivered electronic music.
But while recovering from a dramatic splash-landing, he finds himself
falling head-over-heels for his host, the sultry inventress Nola Luna.
Is she really all she seems? Will she let him record her electronic
‘Orchitron’? Or will Harley Byrne finally be thwarted in his ongoing
mission: to record and make available for download all the world’s
music, ever?
A new episode of UNIVERSAL EAR will go into production during Mr Cole's forthcoming EMARE residency at Bandits-Mages in Bourges, France.
