Last week marked 10 years since the #Lumpenbal that launched the UNIVERSAL EAR project: a rag ball attended by #Manchester's glue-and-glitterati, toting unwanted objects for us to upcycle for the first episodes of our infinite #timetravel serial. . Guests - dressed as wanderers, outcasts, and ruined millionaires - were invited for screen tests made by the Institute's co-founder and conduit, Mick Sugden. Over the next few days we'll share them here, silent, iconic, a journey through time... whatever became of Manchester's threadbare underground? #ragball #sciencefiction #recordproducer #artist #filmdirector (at Nexus Art Café) https://www.instagram.com/p/CASi2M2FgCg/?igshid=1ix901mux3t2s

This week marked 10 years since the #Lumpenbal that launched the UNIVERSAL EAR project: a rag ball attended by #Manchester's glue-and-glitterati, toting unwanted objects for us to upcycle in our first film productions. What a night! Manchester's greatest nightwear-based beat combo #PyjamaParty played. The guests were more beautiful than we dared suspect at the time. Tuesday Betts turned up three hours late, with a cigarette holder and an open bottle of bubbly (our Nexus venue was strictly alcohol-free). It was election night and, in retrospect, we should have all been out tackling voters on their way to condemn the UK to... well, just to condemn the UK, really. But instead we got drunk on sobriety and posed for screen tests made by the Institute's co-founder and conduit, Mick Sugden. We'll post them here, over the next few days... silent, iconic, a journey through time... whatever became of Manchester's threadbare underground? #alltheworldsmusicever #2010 #undergroundcinema (at Nexus Art Café) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_9lsVUlOOQ/?igshid=7s91fo231yd5
