New Cities and Memory live show announced

CITIES AND MEMORY
Cities and Memory is a global collaborative sound project mapping and remixing the world, one sound at a time. Covering 87 countries and more than 2,500 sounds, almost 600 artists around the world have taken part.
The Cities and Memory live show – accompanied by live visuals – presents some of the highlights of the project as pulsing ambient electronica for fans of Stars of the Lid, Fennesz, Laurie Spiegel and field recording.
A reminder of the highlights from our last performance:
Other artists performing on the night will be:
Dagga Domes is an Oxford-based electronic collective by Jeremy Moors and Kit Monteith. Expect pulsing analogue electronics and soaring anthemic leads.
Their recent work includes remixing Oxford luminaries Foals.
Flag Fen is a bio-electrical resistance project developed by former members of Bristol noise-beat outfit
Big Joan. In development since 2017, its roots lie in an unsettling encounter with a dissident
archaeologist some years earlier.
At great personal risk, project leaders Adam Burrows and Keith Hall combine music, words and imagery
to unlock the secrets of a Bronze Age settlement that was destroyed by burning, and the site’s
mysterious connection to major historical events of the last 40 years.
The project includes input from a fluctuating group of collaborators including Liam O’Connell (My
Octopus Mind), Steve James (Geisha Noise Research Group) and Michael O’Neill (Tesla Tapes /
FuckPunk / Gnod).
In April 2019 development resumed at a secret location following the destruction of vital equipment in a
warehouse fire.
After a two year hiatus, After The Thought is slowing making a return to writing and performing all-new material that straddles the line between electronica and post-rock.
