"MATTIN SONGBOOK #5
Created in five parts 7-8 May 2013 in Melbourne.
Part 1: Five musicians record five spontaneous 'songs' of five-minute duration each in response to five different concepts (five different five-word song titles).
Part 2: A twenty-five minute concert at Make It Up Club in five-minutes sections structured by five instructions based on the song titles given to members of the audience.
Part 3: Mattin records vocals for the five songs in the form of a 'singing' lecture at the Victorian College of the Arts. The audience only hears Mattin's voice (he listens to the backing tracks on headphones).
