'Space Is The Place' (1974) may well be the only blacksploitation/free-jazz/social-document/art-house film you're ever likely to clap eyes on. A wild, psychedelic jam, 'Space Is The Place' concerns a cosmic conflict between the unearthly jazz pianist Sun-Ra and the pimpish Overseer for the future of America's black community. As Sun-Ra and his Arkestra blare out their message of celestial revolution, tin-foil special effects and Black Panther styled radicalism are fused to create a experience that's truly out there.
'The Delian Mode' (2009) charts the life and work of the 'Sculptress of Sound' - our very own Delia Derbyshire, member of the BBC Radiophonic workshop and arranger of the original 'Doctor Who' theme. A tape slicing pioneer, Delia's delicate drones and granite grey slabs of noise have influenced a legion of electronic musical mavericks, and 'The Delian Mode' rightly pays homage to this most emancipated of artists.
Booze will be in plentiful supply, and we'll be lacing the eve with all manner of musical malarkey, so join us on Saturday May the 17th at Hollywood Spring in Hackney to celebrate these incredible audionauts and their cosmic transmissions.
Doors open at 6.30, close midnight
