Is it? or not?
A friend told me about the project this week. He said Aphex
Twin will come to Bruges,Belgium in April.
When I looked on the sinfonietta page (link) , I
found two concerts! One in April(27th) and one in
June(17th), on the same location. They do mention Warp, but
they do not mention Aphex or Sqp...
The Concerthall's page (in dutch) mentions the two performances as
well, but they mention Aphex and Sqp in the line-up of the
June concert! (well...It looks like a line-up)

I dunno what to think...
I'm confuzzeld and excitelled and all I want to know is.. Am
I gonna see Aphex perform together with the orchest?

Oh.. Let's not forget about Mira Calix. I love her too :-)

Well this could be quite interesting. Hopefully this thread
overflows with information.

Then i will plan and save up and buy a couple of tickets and
plane tickets and go!

Warp is hét toonaangevende label voor elektronische muziek.
Ensemble in residentie London Sinfonietta bedacht de grote
namen van het label met een originele uitdaging: hun strikt
elektronisch werk vertalen voor akoestische instrumenten. De
vrees voor een een 'Aphex Twin goes classic' is ongegrond:
het resultaat is een geslaagde ontmoeting tussen de beats
van de Warp-artiesten en de virtuositeit van London
Sinfonietta, steeds op het scherp van de snee.
In plaats van een pauze krijgt u een video-intermezzo met
onuitgegeven Warp-video's, en de onversneden dj-cultuur
wordt met werk van Ives, Cage, Ligeti en Stockhausen in de
context van ons 20ste-eeuwse muzikale erfgoed geplaatst.


looks like they are only gonna play 'translated' pieces by
square afx and calix :(

Oh, Don't worry about that.
They say it themselves! "De vrees ... ONgegrond" :-)

Let's hope there will be an afterparty anyways ^_^

sounds exactly like the thing Warp did in London about a
year ago.

they also showed Warp video's in the break there.

does not sound like Aphex and/or SP will be there.

they also played pieces by Ligeti, Cage, Stockhausen and
Ives then.

yep, looks like an exact copy of the earlier Warp event.

who are this shows for?
imo only people who know those artists would attend, it
wouldnt mean much to others im pretty sure of that -
especially cos it doesnt sound that great...

I would agree with you for the Warp arrangements. Not my cup
of tea, but the Aphex one was the best of the bunch. That's
not saying much.

I enjoyed the performances of some of the 'non-Warp'
composers works though.

Okay... Those who went to that show last year, TELL ME
MORE!

How was the audience?
What are the 'beats' like, they speak of?
Just tell me Why I should or shouldn't go!!!

Just telling me 'it was shit' won't do.

I have the bootleg and I thought it was very interesting. My
favorite idm translation was the Boards of Canada piece they
did. It made the transition to classical very well. The
aphex and squarepusher pieces didn't, and were nearly
unrecognizable.

I would be more interested in the Ligeti piece anyway.
