PULp
Logos, Belgium 1980

Always exploring both the acoustics and visual possibilities of a space, as well as its context, PULp MUSIC played in venues from Stratford Marshes to punk Clubs such as the Masque in Hollywood. This is a description of a work from Logos magazine, Ghent, bringing the outside inside:

The harsh sounds continue intermittently leaving in their gaps the sounds of rain splashing on the glass, making a strong contrast with its gentleness. There is nervous tension in the audience’s corner… the earth begins to move… a strong figure emerges smeared with black wet mud, like a creature from another world.. earth sticks to the glass… she finds an opening and blows a horn to herald her entrance into this world. She crawls in to the arena like a dark angel from a faraway hell. The public is totally silent… the distance between her and us seems interminable……us in our clean rows holding our breath and her strange frightening form crawling, leaving a brown trail of earth behind her.

As ‘The Creatures’ Siouxie and Budgie may have popularized the drum/vocal combination of post punk, but Pulp music did it first. The dynamic duo engage in another of their charismatic evenings
Time Out

These two performance artists use music, voice and elaborate theatre effects to produce a visually stunning image. Anne Bean and Paul Burwell’s performances are always original. They weave a magical creation which breaks down barriers of perception and transcends the humdrum of everyday. Bracknell Times

It is refreshing to hear music that is not only unusual and complex but also direct and intimate ………..The result can be astonishing when the artists complement each other, as when Bean matches her voice to the sounds produced by Burwell’s plucking of elastic
