Electricity and Ghosts, featuring Spacedog – live music in Battersea Power Station1

As the sun sets on Battersea Power Station Spacedog will be playing live in the turbine hall. We’ll be using vocals, theremin and other instruments, including the Ealing Feeder – the latest version of my automatic rig. You can see the Ealing Feeder in action at the Kinetica Art Fair, 5-7 February 2010.

We’re just one of a number of live acts playing in Battersea Power Station – date tbc but fingers crossed for 1 June. Stay posted for more news of this hugely exciting event, including ticket details. For now I can tell you there will be music from Alex Paterson (The Orb), John Foxx and ourselves, an installation from Andy Back, projections from Ian Eames and Mike Coles and many other treats. Curated by Dennis Da Silva and Beverley Bennett, Art Hertz, the event is titled Electricity and Ghosts (after one of Foxx’ classic tracks).

This promo artwork from Gregory Allan will be appearing on an Oyster Card holder near you:
