On Thursday 15th September in London, Ben (Synthetics) will be performing his inaugural full audio/visual set for the opening night of the Hackney Film Festival at Platform Bar, Netil House, Hackney. He’s been toiling away over the summer on this new material and it’s exciting to have the opportunity to showcase the project. The 45 minute presentation combines soundtrack style atmospherics with more polished compositions, timed beautifully to his visual aesthetic. There’s no sneak peek yet, but expect videos to be posted online shortly after the event. More info on the gig here

Tonight our old group member and co-founder Anders Carleö will make a sudden and unplanned comeback on the Världskulturmuséet stage at the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, Sweden. We don’t know if it’s the V.I.P. ticket to the sold out festival or pure love for the VJ game that tempted him but whatever the reason it’s fun to see him attack the screens once again. We haven’t gotten any confirmation which musical artists he will be working with. The schedule says that Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Butch and Wolfgang Gartner will be playing tonight.
