Adult Party Games

“Adult Party Games” was originally written by Art Jarvinen in 1970, it was put on by Varispeed Collective as part of a residency at Mt Tremper Arts in 2013. The original piece is a loose collection of piece ideas, some involving people in penguin suits and drilling holes in gongs, dismantling pianos, in Jarvinen’s maximalist style somewhere between Fluxus, Cage, and Kagel.

Here’s the end of the performance at Mt Tremper Arts in 2013, a song written by Aliza Simons and arranged by Varispeed:
