Carchestra pt. 3 (finale w/ laptop smash) soundDOWNTOWN

**DON"T MISS THE END W/ A LAPTOP SMASHING MONKEY**

White Elephant Ensemble (WEE) performing "Carchestra" at soundDOWNTOWN v.1 in Santa Ana on July, 22 2006.

Hybridized Multi-Media Street Theatre and Performance Art conceived and produced by FLOOD (a Long Beach based artist collective [Shea M Gauer, Kamran Kassadi, Shelley Ruggthorp, Scott A Peterson, Marco Schindelmann & Frauke von der Horst])

WEE is:
The Definiens Project (Carter Dewberrry, Kristen Autry, Ryan Zwahlen, Dante De Silva, Nick Casillas)

Shea M Gauer
Scary Culture (Katrina Phipps, Marco Schindelmann, Lauren Seva, Dave Tohir & Scott Vance)
RCC Dancers (Jo Dierdorff et al.)

In addition to the stage performance and dancers, we were surrounded by 25 cars and used their stereo systems as multiple sound sources with each car producing a unique sound either by way of the cd player, in which a different mix was made for each individual car or through the radio, which we broadcast using an FM transmiter.

I don't really know what's going on here, but I think I like it.

Man I was there when this guy just ran up on stage and grabbed a laptop and smashed it. it blew out the power and the speakers just went silent. the video stopped and all you could hear was the car speakers. I heard that all the data from the work was stored on that laptop. it was cool.
