Sweet

Hmm, still not 100% sure what I feel about this performance (after another listen of the Polish one from a while back). It does kind of feel like another one of Mr. James' pranks towards the po faced experimental music scene.

Just give us a new album already instead of all this.

I'm not whining. I'm just asking him to release a new album before doing more of these pretentious fart shows.

[mcglockers]

That's a whine.

[Friendly Foil]

That's a whine.

More like an advice, I'd say.

I really like that blue picture so, despite its small size, I made it into a feasible desktop background if anyone's interested.

why is it so blurry? i just resized it with irfanview and it lost none of its focus

[zlemflolia]

Anti alised and blurred it to remove the pixellatedness

Can anyone honestly say that they enjoyed that Poland performance? I love me a bit of serialism and atonal orchestral music, but that performance sounded (from the recording) absolutely garbage.

Yes I would like to know too. Anyone been? Is it worth seeing?

[beerwolf]

Yeah the Poland Pendericki show wasn't my cup of tea but no mention of Pendericki for the London shows so I presume the source material will be different

[psn]

I enjoyed it. I was there and didn't really know what to expect. Wouldn't really want to see it again, though.

[vamos scorcho]

put out a 1 hour recording, officially titled by Aphex Twin, Richard D James, whatever you choose

 

put it out on CD, vinyl, and digital, with an album cover

 

release it to the public

 

or not

[beerwolf]

I am having a lot of trouble with the online booking, right pain in the arse

I don't get people's beef with this, regardless of whether you like it or not he's doing something different/experimenting. It's obviously going to be completely different to Poland, as beerwolf said the content will be different - probably more his material than interpreting someone else's? As for sound quality on youtube... dude

 

I went to a Hecker sound art show in Cornwall that blew my mind, but if I'd been watching it online I wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes. GIVE IT A CHANCE.

Fuck the Barbicans website it's a joke, never had problems before booking tickets. Doesn't recognise my postcode? Drrrrrrrrrrrrr. Doesn't recognise I have selected a seat, Drrrrrrrrrr. Doesn't recognise anything in my basket, Drrrrrrrrrrrr. Can't create an account, Drrrrrrrr. Basically doesn't do fuck all then.

 

Looks like I will have to phone them.
