ArtHouse Jersey presents Music @ Capital House
This June we’re bringing in the speakers and filling our gallery with music with an eclectic mix of underground and ambient club sounds, intimate blues and electronic experimentation!
A launch event for the summer solstice,
Awake in the Dreamtime
is a new album by Jersey based composer and DJ, Duncan Forbes with internationally acclaimed violinist Jonathan Hill. Recorded over the space of a year at Duncan’s studio in Jersey the album is a blend of beautiful atmospheric electronica combined with analogue sonics, treated piano and live strings. Each track is accompanied by an abstract film created in Jersey by Matthew Le Maistre Smith.
This album launch and first ever live screening and listening session of the music and films is designed to be an immersive experience with floor seating, bean bags and deck chairs. Duncan Forbes has been at the forefront of the electronic music scene since the early 1990’s as one half the pioneering UK production duo, Spooky.
He has DJ’d and toured live all over the world, scored various movie soundtracks and worked alongside and remixed some of the greatest names in electronic music including remixes for Sasha, William Orbit, Sven Vath, Depeche Mode, Apparat, Ladytron, Lush, Thom Yorke, M83, Telefon Tel Aviv, Natasha Atlas, Roger Eno.
Before and after the screening of the film there will be local DJ’s playing a selection of laidback ambient, dub and electronica.
