John Cale details AV drone collaboration
By Aly Barchi | Published on Friday 27 June 2014
London’s Barbican is to host the world’s first sighting/sounding of ‘LOOP>>60Hz’, a collaborative AV work by John Cale and ‘speculative architect’ and designer Liam Young.
Cale and his band will, on 12-13 Sep, play a live set of selected tracks, specially adapted “to durational forms, unusual tunings and unorthodox audio delivery”. Young will then create and provide a series of drone-like ‘disembodied instruments’ which will take flight in the auditorium.
Alongside ‘LOOP>>60 Hz’, a co-commission with The Space, the Barbican will from 4 Jul also lay on an interactive installation named ‘City Of Drones’, which will allow visitors to pilot a lost drone through an ‘abstract cityscape’.
Details and tickets and things are here.
