2014-04-16 00:34:58| Powells Books Events Calendar
Extravagantly opaque and willfully vaporous, Aphex Twin's 1994 album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. Marc Weidenbaum's Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Bloomsbury) contends that despite a reputation for being beatless, the album exudes percussive curiosity, providing a sonic metaphor for our technologically mediated era. Weidenbaum has invited several musicians to perform explorations of themes from the landmark album. This event is sponsored by Music Millennium.
