Busking the Big Apple
Ithaca College Television (ICTV) Producers: Christopher Burt Christopher Cucci Sarah Justine Woodhouse Busking the Big Apple (pilot) documents the life of individuals who earns a living through busking, also known as street performing. Busking is the act of performing live in a public place to entertain people. Through taking a cinéma vérité approach, we captured many of these performers in their attempt to make a living wage performing. We wish to bring attention to a New York City subculture that often goes unnoticed; a hidden subculture that reinvigorates us with color and life in contrast to a concrete gray environment. This short piece promotes the understanding of music in the community, even if it is on the streets of a concrete jungle, for it humanizes the our individualistic isolated society. Music in unconventional locations breaks apart our daily routine, creating a rich human experience. It may be a man drumming on a bucket in a tunnel, the sound of a Kena flute echoing off downtown skyscrapers, or a man strumming a guitar in his underwear. The video you see here is a cut specifically created for the 2009 Association of Higher Education Campus Television Administrators Student Production Awards. The original piece is a 15minute pilot. Please contact info@smallscaleprodctions.com for more information. Living in New York City during the summer, Producer Chris Cucci became fascinated with individuals who performed on subways, street corners, and in parks. After <b>...</b>
Awesome Electric Violin - Ed Busking Chester
Ed Alleyne-Johnson Busking Electric Violin in Chester UK - May 2006 Fantastic - This is perhaps the best street performance I have ever witnessed. Reminiscent of Jean Luc Ponte's visceral fusion sound. This is in the city of Chester near Wales. Chester has perhaps the only double decker shopping plaza streets, with a second level up off the street within the buildings, balconies running all the way down the streets. jablesj comments - "They were made by the victorians so that rich people would not get wet while out in the rain." The sound is unaltered from the original and was emancipated at great volume in this old town. Ed uses the looper and pedals to great effect. There are no overdubs. Incredible he commanded this fantastic show all by himself, I stood enraptured with all the hair on my body standing on end, grin stretched wide. You can see where he looked up to see my ebullient smile just before he grins and kicks in the distortion. This has been a tremendous inspiration for me. I had never heard him or heard of him before this performance. Ed is awesome! I got some albums of his from the web since hearing this. I hope I can see him again one day.

Paul McCartney Busking - "Yesterday"
A clip from the film Give My Regards To Broadstreet (1984) in which Paul imagines himself busking for money on the street. Here are some quotes from Paul about the scene: "Y'know, they just made me up and dropped me off. I told 'em we'd never get away with it, but they kept putting dirt on and rufflin' up me hair -- I was looking better and better -- and I figured, why not. So I was standin' there plunkin' chords, doing this silly version of the song, and no one noticed it was me. No one wants to look a busker in the eye of course, 'cus then they'd get his life story. So they'd toss coins and I'd be going, 'Yesterday, all my troubles -- thank you, sir -- seemed so far away.' This fabulous drunk Scotsman, who didn't know me from Jesus, came up, threw his arm around me and gave me all his coins. I started doing these little dances and some punks came by, studs and leather, and they were dancing, too. Not because this guy's a Beatle, but because this was something happening. It was a great feeling. Just me and the music." Source: Beaver Country Times Nov. 4, 1984 Found on Google news
