Video #374 of 1000 – Evalyn Parry – Instructions for Learning to Ride a Bicycle. For DAY374 of EveryDayMusic on Apr. 9, 2013. Recorded during tech rehearsal for her two week run at the Cultch (Apr. 9 – 20) on Apr. 9, 2013 in HD (1080p on XA10).

Through a series of songs played live on a vintage bicycle, SPIN recounts a theatrical cycle of stories about women, cycling and liberation. Parry’s “co-star”, a vintage bicycle, is suspended in a mechanic’s stand on stage. The bike is played by percussionist Brad Hart who, using brushes on the fenders, bows on the 
spokes and drum sticks on a variety of tuned bells, conjures an astonishing array of sounds with this iron horse. You can buy tickets for the show at: https://tickets.thecultch.com
