The Can Project featuring Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Malcolm Mooney and Thurston Moore Live In London 2017

Founding member Irmin Schmidt premieres an orchestral reinterpretation of classic Can material alongside new work with the London Symphony Orchestra, before an all-star band of former Can members and long-time admirers pay tribute to their pioneering music.
Assembling their music through improvisation and studio editing, Can’s writing process resembled collage. Tonight, Can founder Irmin Schmidt takes that approach to their entire oeuvre, conducting the world premiere of his piece An homage to Can, written with Gregor Schwellenbach, which weaves together quotations and abstractions of some of the band’s most renowned pieces.
After an extended interval screening of Can’s 1972 performance at Cologne Sporthalle, the second half of the show brings together a supergroup led by Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), featuring ex-Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit, as well as Can’s first singer Malcolm Mooney, realising and reinterpreting the band’s music.
Laying the foundations of what came to be known as Krautrock, Can became one of the most influential avant-rock groups of all time, and echoes of their work is audible in everything from Joy Division, to Radiohead, to Kanye West. Can combined the deconstructed rock’n’roll of The Velvet Underground, the determined rhythmic propulsion of Sly & the Family Stone, and the appetite for studio experimentation of their former teacher Karlheinz Stockhausen to create a new kind of rock music – something avant-garde and groovy, both wildly experimental and utterly compelling.
The show will be preceded by a Q&A with Rob Young, author of a new book devoted to Can – one-part biography, one part memoir by Schmidt himself

Warning Shots

Tear Gun

After an altercation with a tutor, Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Yi-Fei Chen created this visual metaphor to show her personal struggle with speaking her mind.
Chen was born in Taiwan, where she was brought up with a strong sense of authority and taught that disagreeing with teachers was rude.
Because of this, she struggled to question her tutors when she came to the Netherlands to study for her masters degree – something Design Academy Eindhoven often encourages.
"The difficulties living as a foreigner in another country lead to high pressures in the study environment, she said. "Those pressures had been building for 18 months before finally reaching a crisis point during one of my midterm presentations."

Black Cab to perform live soundtrack to 'Akira' in January


Palace Cinemas and Hear My Eyes are excited to announce this special event screening of the science-fiction, cult classic Akira with an original live score. The critically acclaimed, Melbourne based electronica group Black Cab have written an original score that features traditional Japanese Taiko drumming for a one-night-only screening at the Astor Theatre. Experience the legend of Akira on the Astor's enormous screen. Be immersed in the atmosphere of Black Cab's live electronics. Feel the raw power of traditional Japanese Taiko drumming. Join us for this unique, visceral experience. "Is it a film? Is it a live music performance? Good lord, it’s both. A cinematic, sensory overload. Hear My Eyes will create an audio-visual experience that reclaims the original conventions of picture and music." - Broadsheet Melbourne
FILM: AKIRA
The Japanese anime classic of mythic proportions Akira (1988) is set in a futuristic Neo-Tokyo filled with cyberpunk gangs and revolutionary uprisings. After a rebellious punk has a chance encounter with a mysterious telekinetic child, he is gifted with tremendous superpowers that grow rapidly out of control. The dystopian fable unravels into what can only be described as a landmark piece of cinema that is as viscerally powerful as it is sublime. Known for its phenomenally textured animation style and mind-bending narrative, it is a film that transcends the conventions of science fiction and anime. The legend of Akira is an utterly unique film that all cinema lovers need to experience.
*Please note: the film's original soundtrack will be muted, but all dialogue and special effects audio will remain as per usual.
LIVE SCORE: BLACK CAB
An atmosphere of kinetic energy crackles around the ever evolving sound of Black Cab. With four critically acclaimed albums now under their belt the band’s deep atmospheric drone has evolved into electric genius. Thematically driven, Black Cab albums drive head first into the multisensory experiences of time and place. The disastrous 1969 Rolling Stones Altamont Free Concert was the inspiration for their first concept album Altamont Diary (2004). While the group’s latest album Games of the XXI Olympiad (2014) draws inspiration from the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. This time round Black Cab are teaming up with the traditional Taiko drummer Toshi Sakamoto to summon a 1980’s inspired soundtrack of dark synthesized undertones for Akira’s neo-Tokyo.
Black Cab are Andrew Coates, James Lee and Wes Holland. Reviews for Black Cab's album 'Games of the XXI Olympiad':
LIVE SCORE: TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TAIKO DRUMMING
For this rare live experience, Black Cab are collaborating with Toshi Sakamoto, a Japanese born Taiko instructor who has devoted his life to the art of Taiko drumming. Toshi has been teaching Taiko drumming across Japan and Australia for the past 30 years and is the founding director of the Melbourne based Waidaiko Rindo Japanese drumming school, established by him in 1994
