MOSCOW MARTINI: VODKA WITH A DASH OF POLITICS BY BEN EWART


Hey Art Clubians, this is my Russian submission.

 I have always wanted to experiment, mad scientist-esque, with infusing alcohol...and by golly gosh I have finally done it, with my Venomous Vodka Variations. 

Firstly I decided I needed a theme, and that is Historical Russian Leaders, namely Vladmir Lenin, Josef Stalin, and Ivan the Terrible. 

Secondly I needed flavours, and they needed to relate to the Leaders somehow...
-Lenin was socialised with Red-skins to make 'Red-Skinned Lenin'
-Stalin was purged with Honey to make 'The Russian Honey-Bear'
-And Ivan was terrorised with a ridiculous amount of chilli to make 'Ivan the Terribly Spicy' 

Now the process is quite simple, as you can see above.
The ingredients are put in with the Vodka, and infused for a minimun of two days, or in this case two weeks, so the chilli would really burn. Once the wait was over, the leaders were checked for quality....so after a shot of each I realised that Lenin needed some straining and some red food dye to make him more of a Red Marxist-tinge, rather than a Pink Pinko. Stalin needed a little bit of extra sweetness, so a bit of Vanilla came in. And Ivan, well he was more Terrible than expected, so I decided to leave him as he is, (on that note I am not willing to admit how long I actually coughed after tasting it). 

Finally the jars were completed with some labels, and thus my Leaders were consecrated. 

And that is that... 

Now they just need to be consumed....perhaps an Art Club event is in order...an exhibtion complete with themed drinks perhaps....

PAPERBAND


Paperband is an audio piece created by Ben Ewart.  It was made entirely from noises made with a piece of A4 paper....genius!

Enjoy!

(This piece was submitted by Ben in December as part of the A4 paper theme, however, I have only just worked out how to present audio files on blogger...please forgive me Ben?!)
