The Lappetites December 2nd 2008 live at Joseph Berlin contact: lappetites@lappeties.com  The Lappetites is a laptop group of woman from different background and different generations playing with digital and sonic linking. Regularly active as solo artistes all over the world they have come together to research ways of live sharing and poaching sound and data from each other as a means of composition.

Matthews: "All electronics players, not only did we have this ridiculously new situation of improvising with a bunch of just girls, but the potential that evening inspired made it obvious that this format could be the start of this live electronics band idea. And so The Lappetites came into being." With other commitments, distance, travel costs and schedules, it was soon realised, that The Lappetites would be a forum within which to explore these ways of playing, and that members would come and go over time. |
