19.45 - Keith Tippett (Piano), Julie Tippetts (Vocals) with BSO musicians Andy Baker (Bass) and Philippa Stevens (Cello)
will perform their celebrated and unique approach to experimental jazz through improvisation to Buster Keaton’s film The Electric House 1922, 1980s video from digital pioneers Steina and Woody Vasulka, and real-time and generative animations from Stephen Bell. Bell’s animations have been created especially for this performance from computer programs generating abstract shapes based on animal movement and migration.

Comix are a visual / motion graphics duo who focus on bringing cutting edge visuals to live shows and gigs.
