BBC Radiophonic Workshop / Sonic Boom
Turntable
Cafe pays tribute to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, whose most familiar
contribution to the world was the Dr Who theme, arguably the earliest
and most significant piece of British electronica. But with contributors
like Delia Derbyshire and Glynis Jones, it was also hugely influential
on generations of musicians, from the Pet Shop Boys to Aphex Twin and
Four Tet.
Sonic Boom - formerly of Spacemen 3 and the last person to work with
Delia Derbyshire before she died in 2001 - performs live; there is a
selection of archive footage on the workshop, and Julian House, from the
graphic design company Intro provides images and spins records.
Turntable Cafe takes place in the Purcell Room and The Front Room at the
Queen Elizabeth Hall.

Moog - ICA
The ICA and Plexifilm present MOOG, a new documentary about Robert Moog, inventor of the modern synthesizer, and pioneer of the electronic music scene as we know it today. MOOG is a portrait of a legendary figure in music and technology and his ideas about creativity, design, interactivity and spirituality, as well as his collaborations with musicians over the years. Directed by Hans Fjellestad, the film features a host of musical talents inspired and influenced by the Moog synthesizer, including Keith Emerson, Sun Ra, Walter Sear, Jean-Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert, Rick Wakeman, DJ Spooky, Herb Deutsch, Bernie Worrell, Mix Master Mike and more. Many of this eclectic mix of performers (from Stereolab to The Album Leaf, Tortoise and Money Mark) also collaborated on the original soundtrack to the film, recently released by Hollywood Records.
