Every Picture Tells a Story were a series of all-night electronic dance music festivals held at different venues in Melbourne. In 1991 Heidi John and Richard John started a series of warehouse, rave parties. In 1993 they formed the Melbourne Underground Development (M.U.D.) crew with Phil Woodman (aka Phil Voodoo, Deja Voodoo). From 1993 to 1997 the parties were held at the Global Village in suburban, Footscray. Some 21 such parties were held until the year 2000. A one-off Every Picture Tells a Story event was held in April 2010. == Every Picture and other M.U.D. events == In 1991 Heidi John and Richard John organised a set of rave parties as all-night electronic dance music festivals, Every Picture Tells a Story.〔 In the 1980s they had attended warehouse parties in the United Kingdom, which were run by local crews before they ran their own parties in London's East End with Joe Wieczorek of Club Labyrinth. The Johns created a similar collective, Melbourne Underground Development (M.U.D.), with Phil Woodman (aka Phil Voodoo, Deja Voodoo), and local DJs (Will E Tell, Richie Rich, HMC) who each performed for several hours.〔 Paul Fleckney, in his book ''Techno Shuffle'' (2015), praised how "During the 90s, the Johns keep the underground flame burning with jungle and breakbeat DJs."〔 Aside from live electronic musicians and DJs, the festivals featured computer animation, performance artists and visual art. From 1993, the parties were held at the Global Village warehouse complex in Footscray, and later also at TVU Warehouse Footscray, West Gates Sports Complex Altona, Epicentre (Byron Bay, New South Wales), and the Bertie St Warehouse, Port Melbourne. Each festival used a collective of artists (such as the Mutoid Waste Company) and DJs who together formed the local underground techno movement.〔 Some of the TVU Warehouse performances were screened live-to-air. M.U.D.'s Woodman organised the May 2000 event, "Everyone comes in, they live here for a week, they all draw banners... They all work together, they all connect, they are in one mindframe. That's what started this party."〔 Woodman, as Deja Voodoo, is a mixed-media artist; an exhibition of his artwork was held in June 2013. M.U.D. also put on other events such as the Pleazure and Strange parties, each had their own themes, décor, installation art, video graphics and vibe with music performed by dozens of Australian and international live acts and DJs. The final Every Picture Tells a Story party (number 21) was held on 4 November 2000 at Festival Hall, Melbourne. Appearing at festivals were international acts, including Luke Slater, Claude Young, Derrick May,〔 Stacey Pullen, Ultra Sonic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Zen Paradox Live Performances )〕 The visual aesthetic for Every Picture Tells a Story events made a cultural impact in Melbourne. Christine Siokou described the local rave party scene of 1998 to 1999, she noted that Every Picture Tells a Story "parties aim for an all-ages crowd" and that their "capacity crowds" show that "the thousands of young people attending raves associate, to varying degrees, with a raver identity". In 2010 Every Picture Tells a Story returned for a one-off performance, Frequency Shift.〔 After the devastating bush fires in Victoria in February 2009, community spirit needed to be lifted and a space was offered to M.U.D. to stage a special 3-day gathering in the Yarra Valley. The event was due on 16 to 18 April 2010, but was cancelled due to council restrictions. A warehouse day-night event took place instead on 17 April 2010 at the Melbourne Docklands, shed 4. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Every Picture Tells A Story (event)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
