Aphex Twin [WARPbot] Aphex Twin: Remote Orchestra show at The Barbican, London

to be fair, warp posted some soundboard quality youtube clips i think.

but live it's different. it's an experience. i guess. i skipped the penderecki stuff.

Tickets booked. Never seen Aphex 'live', always wanted to and this seems like my best bet these days, short of DJ sets at festivals. Looking forward to it.

It'll be my first time seeing AFX too. Got my tickets booked.

Yep me too. And even if it's bum, hell at least it'll be bum in a great performance hall starring ol' Aphex.

:( sold out, no dice today. Sold out really fast as well, I'll cross my fingers for another set due to demand but I won't hold my breath either. Enjoy the set you lucky people :)

Christ even take that shows don't sellout this quick!

got my tickets, not to sure what to expect!

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.

 

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.

Of course I'll GIVE IT A CHANCE, and I completely agree about Tim Hecker live/on youtube. I was just saying about that Poland performance and what I heard on the youtube recording. Got no problem with him experimenting. Hopefully it'll be amazing.

Ah okay I feel ya. Sorry I meant Florian Hecker.

I agree with kinski - the same thing with ''Pendulum Music'' - on YT it`s just a (distorted/far from original) sound - but not experience that includes: sound, light, visualisationt + your onw feelings.

If anyone is selling an extra ticket please PM me

'm sure it will be amazing, lucky bastards

I had trouble with the Barbican site too - it wouldn't recognise my card details for some reason. I got a phone call the next day asking if I wanted to buy a pair of tickets for £80 (stupid price but typically Aphex) for "The Apex Twins". If the Barbican can't get the name right then what's the point in trying to sell them to me? Shame, cos I actually love that place.

That's funny, I was once trying to order an Aphex CD in a store and the cashier made the exact same name mistake. Reading comprehension, really...

With you my friend, I had a complete nightmare with the site, and hence sit ticketless. Was going to phone the box office but I was driving home from cornwall and just didn't have time. Next thing I know the place is sold out. Ok cool sometimes you win, sometimes you loose but the website seemed to take an instant dislike to me lol. Bollocks in otherwords.

Ass, completely missed this thread! Would have been up for this. Pm me if you have a spare or cant go.. Cheers!

Got my tickets in the post, now to tuck them away somewhere 'safe' for four months, then panic when I can't find them on the day.

got my tickets yesterday.

oh and yes the website was a bit dodgy. it said all the seats were sold out just before I was gonna book it - then I got kicked back to the frontpage.

But I still had the booking page (showing all available seats) opened in another tab, and 5 mins later I managed to book the apparently 'sold out' seats. long live the afx.

If anyone has any spare tickets to sell, PM me. Cheers.

lucky bastards!

somebody better record this :]

Likewise anyone looking to sell a ticket please pm me.

Obviously do them ^^^ 1st though :)

cheers
