The inaugural 2019 edition of The Quietus Social features a full album playback of the Richard D. James Album to be followed by John Doran presenting Selected Ambient Walks: Aphex Twin And Cornish Mythology.
This lecture, which was first given at Unsound Krakow in 2018, will be presented in 5.1 AFX Vision* and draws many links between the tin mining industry, West Country witches, the legend of Merlin’s keep, state vandalism of the Logan rock, Michel Foucault and the history of the Cornish pasty. (*Powerpoint)
The evening is also the London launch of Freaky Dancing: The Complete Collection. Join the makers of the legendary Hacienda acid house fanzine – which Tony Wilson once described as the most important bit of journalism he’d read in the last 20 years – and their modern contemporaries for a discussion of the art and politics of fanzine making.
There will also be a late bar and DJs. Doors at 7pm, the action starts at 7.30pm. Tickets are £4 or £5 on the door.
The Quietus… The Social… Use ’em or loose ’em…
