DREAM MACHINES: ELECTRONIC MUSIC BOOK EVENT

We’d like to welcome you to Outlaws Yacht Club for this FREE event devoted to the history of electronic music in Britain.
Matthew Collin’s new book Dream Machines is an expansive and illuminating history of electronic music in the UK, told with passionate enthusiasm by the critically-acclaimed author of Altered State and Rave On.
Dream Machines tracks the music’s evolution from early avant-garde experiments through psychedelia, art-rock and synth-pop to electro, dub, sampling and acid house.
This event will be a lively discussion with Matthew Collin and special guests:

Tim Hutton (http://timhutton.co.uk/)
Inder Goldfinger (Fun-Da-Mental)
Joanne Armitage (Algorave live coder)
Choque Hosein (Black Star Liner)

Come down and enjoy the debate!

'A paean to all the originators and early adopters of electronic music … An incredibly rich and forensically researched history, exquisitely detailed and voiced by the many characters who comprise it.' Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire)
