The Act of Being Polite is an experimental music project created in 2008 by A. Christopher Carlyle. Designed as a soundtrack to the weightlessness of dreams and the emptiness of post-God existence, instruments featured in the project include harmonium, reed organ and a half-broken guitar. The project is bound to no genre or style and can transmogrify accordingly. CD-R’s issued thus far under the title include ‘Cancer Songs’ and ‘The Idiot’. ‘Romanticism of Insanity in the Dead Century’ (a tribute to early 20th century silent film) is set to follow.
Influences include: Iannis Xenakis, John Cage, Sun Ra, Meredith Monk, The Residents, Harry Partch, Nico, Johann Sebastian Bach, Maja Ratkje, Coil, Swans, Throbbing Gristle, Jandek, and countless writers and film-makers.
