The Wire Salon
Thursday 8th July, 8pm
A monthly series of salon events, hosted by The Wire magazine, and dedicated to the fine art and practice of thinking and talking about music.
The series continues in July with an event that examines the collision of auto-destructive art, proto-psychedelia, free jazz, noise and sound poetry that occurred at the fringes of the UK's swinging 60s counterculture. Author/musician David Toop, curator Mathieu Copeland, and Syd Barrett biographer Rob Chapman, author of A Very Irregular Head, will lead a discussion on the practices and philosophies that linked such quintessential underground figures as artists John Latham and Gustav Metzger, free jazz pioneer Joe Harriott, Pink Floyd, improvisors John Stevens and AMM, composer Annea Lockwood, and sound/text poet Bob Cobbing. The panel will also debate how their work continues to impact on today's radical artists and musicians. Plus, screenings of the original 16mm prints of films by 60s experimental film maker Jeff Keen, including the legendary Marvo Movie; and Edwin Pouncey spinning Othersounds of the 60s.
