Im genuinely very happy I drifted though the internet to find Ubu.com
Last week i ‘soundhounded’ (pretty much shazamed) this song from a mix on soundcloud. I re-listened to the song just now Tully – I feel the sun. I wanted to learn more about this band so i went on wikipedia. Tully were an Australian Progressive rock group in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
After skim reading though the wikipedia page i found that they had “close associations with Sydney underground media collective UBU”. I wanted to find out more about the “psychedelic light show” UBU created for Tully.
So i search what Ubu is and it was “an experimental film-making collective based in Sydney that operated from 1965 to around 1970”. Around this time i had been down teh rabbit hole for at least 20minutes. Cut to 40mins and i’ve seen a few of their experimental films and read a bit more about them.
Then i found though google Ubu.com ( or ubuweb.com) where i would spend 30minutes finding more and more stuff which led me to further and further places. I feel like Ubu will be a valuable source in the near future because its pretty much an encylopedia of Avant-garde film, audio, performance, conceptual art, poetry and much more. I need to explore this website a bit more but will be making frequent posts on interesting things i find.
