Bora Yoon in 2007 Pophorn action.

Our favourite New York omni-sonic audio architectress, Bora Yoon, just sent us this video of her 2007 ( (( PHONATION )) ) performance at Lincoln Center in New York City: A unique rendition of Kaki King’s ‘Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers’ with cell phones, voice, turntable, and Pophorns.

Let’s sit back and remember those pre-Iphone days while we’re waiting for Unsworn Mobile’s batch of new Pophorns…

Battle for the Pophorn Grand Prix 2008 trophy at the Malmö Festival.

Head for the RGRA-tent at the Malmö Festival or start practicing at home right now by downloading the Pophorns to your mobile phone.

Cellular celebrations

To celebrate this fine affiliation we hooked up with Behrang “Rap-Tor” Miri and RGRA (The Voice and Face of the Street Movement) for a busy Pophorn jam at Herrgården in southern Malmö. Hours of enthusiastic cellular beat-boxing concluded with the decision that RGRA will host a Pophorn Grand Prix at Malmöfestivalen in August.

Later we found this action-packed video, shot by some of the kids and edited by Richard Topgaard.

Our old chair has been up-cycled by means of black gaffer tape.

We teamed up a previously unknown entity of the Unsworn conglomerate, the Unsworn Interior Desecrators, to give our new studio just the right gaffa aesthetics. The soundtrack was provided by dual Boomshakular Pophorns only.
