Garry Williams

Music For Street Fights: A Soundtrack to Late-Night Violence, 2008

Strathbogie Hotel/Disco, Bogie St

Film still


When the weekend comes, Huntly’s social life is drawn towards the Strathbogie Disco. Garry designed a soundtrack for late night violence. Garry collaborated with police and pub owners to play the music via an outdoor mobile sound unit between 10pm-2am over the weekend. When a fight occurred, his helpline was called and he would activate the music to aid dispersal. A DVD of the work is available from Deveron Arts.
